Why !MongoDB?

• jedberg 6y ago
  Because MongoDB is a document store and you really only need a key/value store for this. Also because MongoDB started life preferring speed vs durability, which is a bad look for a database. They may have fixed that now, but I cannot forgive them for that.

      Except when it's not. :)

        I don't compare HTML vs. C here, obviously I am talking about databases. All personal feelings aside, there is no technical reason to NOT use MongoDB as a key value store if one has experience with it, because after release comes maintenance and learning a new tool while fixing production problems doesn't make sense to me.

  I remember reading on here at one time that under some scenarios your data doesn't come out the way you put it in, or something to that effect.
