And you can tell a lot about a developer when they post comments like this. Almost none of is remotely accurate e.g. RabbitMQ isn't even a database.

Man, people really hate Mongo. We use it for a very specific use case and its been perfect for us when we need raw speed over everything. Data loss is tolerable.

  It seems like you have the only good use case for it pegged down. I've worked at multiple companies that really, really didn't understand that putting something into the DB comes with some probability that it'll never come out. The arguments were "but it's a dataBASE, it stores data. They'd never sell this as a product if it LOST data; then it wouldn't be a database..."

I can't believe the one item that was so obviously added as a joke went right over head. It may be good idea to take a break from the computer and find something less stressful to do.

  Perhaps that’s because some other message brokers are now being touted as databases[0][1], I remember seeing a thread about it on HN couple of days ago.

    Kafka is a very different beast from RabbitMQ.
  - ianamartin 6y ago
    Kafka is much more like a distributed file system that has queuing semantics baked in than it is an ephemeral queue that implements some level of persistence. The fact that you put Kafka and RabbitMQ in the same category sort of makes me feel like you're out of your element, Donnie.

And now I can tell a lot about you as a developer; maybe stay away from any kind of complex abstraction, wouldn't want it to go right over your head, ya know?
