> That API is gnarly.
Out of the many MongoDB criticisms, this one is valid. This https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/mongodb-frankenstein-monster-nosql-databases-john-de-goes/ https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/mongodb-frankenstein-monster-... article is quite right about it (note: endorsing the article does not mean I endorse its author by far).
Other than that, they totally did a fake it until you make it with MongoDB 3.4 passing Jepsen a year ago and MongoDB BI 2.0 containing their own SQL engine instead of wrapping PostgreSQL.
- aeorgnoieang 9y agoWhat specifically are you trying to avoid endorsing about the author of the LinkedIn post to which you linked? I couldn't find anything from a cursory web search.
- mst 9y agoHe runs lambdaconf, and refused to disinvite a speaker who many people felt shouldn't be permitted to speak because of his historical non-technical writings. (I've tried to keep the above as dry as possible to avoid dragging the arguments around this situation into this thread - and I suspect the phrasing of the previous comment was also intended to try and avoid that, so let's see if we can keep it that way, please)
- chx 9y agoYou could try adding controversy to the author name and searching then. As mst correctly notes, I am trying to avoid reigniting said controversy while indicating my distaste.
