Maybe the NOSQL hype is dying down, but it still seems like for caching for fast reads it can be helpful. What do you think?

- emperorcezar 8y agoNoSQL is a catch all term. There is a place for key/value, document, graph, etc databases. People got all excited cause they discovered that these exist. They've been around for a long time. Relational DBs are a good default, but there are plenty of cases in which you'll use another type of DB. Engineers need to stop trying to find a silver bullet.
- mmt 8y agoThey also exist as features within an (otherwise) relational DBMS. Perhaps the trouble is that it's mostly been in the realm of the commercial ones and only relatively recently has Postgres started adopting enough of them to make the notion popular.
