How is this similar/different from using CouchDB as a live database? I've been toying around with both (hosting CouchDB on DO)
Which one would you recommend for small-ish (~100 user, <10k records) projects?
- eloff 6y agoFor a project that small you can use NoSQL without issue because you can always scan the whole thing when needed. For larger data sets you want the relational model unless you're very sure you don't need it (and most people who think they're in this category are just wrong and will find out later the hard way.)
- yawnxyz 6y agoThank you, that's really helpful! I'm always wary of getting stuck in the "I wish I didn't use NoSQL" camp, but thankfully I haven't been in that situation yet
