MongoDB is web scale, not universe scale.
- Stevvo 5y agoYou turn it on and it scales right up. Right up to space.
- freemint 5y agoWould have been so more funny if you wrote "cloud scale".
- api 5y agoIt's interesting how much contempt people have around here for one of the most successful open source oriented companies in recent memory. Most of the bad things about MongoDB are actually bad things about the NoSQL fad, and that fad was huge around here a few years ago.
- freemint 5y agoI used NoSQL databases that are ACID.
- indymike 5y agoI used acid and selected a nosql.
- andrewxdiamond 5y agoMongo’s “return before write” behavior is what earned it this title. It makes it look better on benchmarks, convincing unwitting devs that it is a better choice.
- 908B64B197 5y agoMongo and NoSQL, to me, are really symptoms of the Bootcamp craze that happened a few years ago. It's way easier to understand than relational databases, can be simply browsed and retrieved as json (usefull when your only language is JS) and had good adapters for the cookie cutter frameworks used at the time. And you don't need to bother with a schema or joins. There are use-cases for NoSQL but it's not a once size fits all solution.
