It's also that CouchDB is (or at least used to be) rather slow compared to MongoDB.
10gen sure has done a lot to keep MongoDB growing despite many people having their homework (or essential customer data, or...) eaten by MongoDB; so part of it probably is attributable to better publicity.
- rdtsc 15y agoThere is a reason they are fast. They didn't use to have durability. Think about that -- it is a database product that until the last version didn't have durability and its writes were not acknowledged with a response. If you store you data in memory and write it to disk sometimes, you can write very fast.
- latch 15y agoand now, since 2 versions, they have journaling, and offer a huge amount of flexibility over write durability available: - fire and forget - write with integrity check (safe) - write with journal commit - write with data file commit - write with replication to X nodes And you can combine the last 4 in any way you like. They did a pretty good job turning a downside into a significant advantage (yes, fire and forget is a significant advantage in a lot of cases).
