Stack Overflow Research: MongoDB Is the Database Most Wanted by Developers
- krnaveen14 6y ago>> The document data model and MongoDB Query Language, giving developers the fastest way to innovate in building transactional, operational, and analytical applications. I'm pretty skeptical about this. It seems they kinda advertise it as traditional OLTP database.
- elmerfud 6y agoI agree. That sounds like a marketing speak translation of developers saying they're familiar with it and/or they have an existing code base of examples they base off of.
- hootbootscoot 6y agoexcept on HN, where PG is the only thing for everything always :D the world is a nail. where's my hammer?
- hootbootscoot 6y agothe other day someone talked about using PG to make a key-value store, and I hit my forehead hard enough that it hurt. I didn't have the heart to tell them to examine the PG source code, or any other database, and see what sort of primitives are underneath the hood....
- hootbootscoot 6y agobut didn't Mongo change their license and basically try to shake everyone down? and then revert this... or am I imagining things here or transposing a villain from a differen DB drama?
- Nextgrid 6y agoMongoDB is a nice shortcut for when you don’t want to deal with a schema at the beginning but that’s all it is - a shortcut.

- gregjor 6y agoI say go for it, junior devs. Stable, mature, scalable relational databases will still be here when you’re tired of recovering corrupt databases and implementing second-rate locking and transactions in application code.
