I stand by my point. It was all reactionary stuff. I went to the conferences and saw the talks by those bright eyed young developers. Their disdain for RDBMS and SQL was as fervent as it was misguided. They hailed a new era of Big Data and NoSQL. Hadoop was gonna be the way to store it all or you weren't webscale.
Forward a decade and most of it is in the dustbin of unmanageable tech while good ole RDBMS outlived them all. Mongo is about the only one I still hear about and see pop up in job ads. Might share the fate of Hadoop too when people learn that Postgres can index JSON too and even be sharded if you need to (you likely don't).
- dalyons 4y agoIf you think that redis and Cassandra are in the “dustbin” then I don’t know what to tell you, except that you’re possibly very out of touch. Especially redis, it seems to be used everywhere
- mixmastamyk 4y agoYou may be confusing redis with mongo which definitely suffered that. Redis is simple and well designed when used as directed.
