Nixe article! As much as I love mongoDB, when reading articles like this I really get the urge to think about how my data might fit into riak, cassandra or elastic search.
I really dislike architectures that force the setup and monitoring of those "specialized" roles onto the user although they seem to belong to the internal protocols
- benologist 15y agoWe avoid all that headache by letting MongoHQ take care of the details, it literally reduces my work down to just making sure I have sane indexes.
- BenjaminCoe 15y agoI would love for someone else to take care of our headache for us :) Unfortunately, we have enough data that our service doesn't fit well within 3rd party hosting services' pricing plans -- there are other concerns with offloading such an important part of the business as well: availability, data-security, etc.
- yid 15y agoThe monitoring processes makes sure that each instance can talk to every other instance (firewalls, etc.). That definitely doesn't belong in a distributed database protocol.
