At the very least, I'd say it has a bias towards younger/smaller companies for whom the price point of Oracle/DB2 doesn't make sense.

- patrickaljord 15y agoAs a younger/smaller companies, I wouldn't use Oracle/DB2 even if it was free. Happy mongodb user here.
- kahawe 15y agoAs someone who has worked in young, small and medium, old and larger companies: I wouldn't use mongo/couch outside of non-critical webapps even if I was paid to do so and for my own (cynic) understanding, it is as much a "database" as a folder with clear text files is. Yes, Oracle is big, bad and "ebil" and I cannot stand their sales drones.. but if you ever had an "oh CRAP" moment, chances are very good that the db has got your back. Of course it also has its downsides like any other huge software product...
- patrickaljord 15y agoAdsense runs on mysql, how non-critical is that?
- kahawe 15y agoI was talking about mongo and couch, not MySQL.

- rcrowley 15y agoMongo is by many measures worse than "a folder with clear text files."
