You will have to forgive my ignorance on the matter as I have not been paying close attention to the popularity of NoSQL databases but has MongoDB taken the crown. Cassandra seemed to be widely popular for a while but this article seems to imply that MongoDB is the skill to have, which would lead me to believe that more people are adopting it than the other offerings in this space. Can someone enlighten me to the state of the NoSQL industry, has it picked the winner and losers yet? Or is MongoDB just enjoying it's moment in the sun?
- scarmig 15y agoWell, with the caveat that the differences between NoSQL solutions can be as big or bigger than that between SQL and a given NoSQL solution... A quick glance at Stackoverflow careers and SF craigslist show Redis coming up a wee bit more than MongoDB, though I doubt it's statistically significant. Those seem like the top two, with most others giving significantly fewer hits. Regardless, MongoDB is far from undisputed king of the hill.
- kls 15y agoThanks, I appreciate the info, it is an area of computing that I just have not had time to get into. I have used Cassandra before, but never taken the time to look at the other offerings.
