I used to build drivers for MongoDB because it was so easy.
MongoDB had a good run, I enjoyed it before migrating away. This license definitely hurts companies.
What to? I built my own Open Source solution (MIT/Zlib/Apache2).
Around same time Firebase was getting popular, and Graph databases were the way forward.
Combined them all together, now have Internet Archive and HackerNoon running it (https://github.com/amark/gun https://github.com/amark/gun) in production!
- oaththrowaway 7y agoI believe I saw you present at UtahJS a few years back. I was very impressed with your presentation about JavaScript performance. I think think about that talk every once in a while.
- marknadal 7y agoThanks! I appreciate that :) JavaScript is not easy to get it to perform! :P Link to tech talk for others: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEqH-oZ4UXI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEqH-oZ4UXI
- Thorrez 7y agoSo you're saying MongoDB is good software, but not quite as good as yours. And you're saying the license is bad. Did you migrate away before or after the license change? Could you elaborate on how companies are hurt by the license?
- reilly3000 7y agoWow, awesome work. I can't believe I haven't heard of gun before now. I'm off to play!
