Ask HN: Which NoSQL DB is best for a node.js newbie?
Which of the popular NoSQL DBs is the easiest to install and use with node.js?
Note: I have very little linux experience, so I prefer solutions like pasting a single command into the terminal and have everything happen automatically, including post-install config ;)
- MarcinMieszek 15y agoMongoDB seems to be the easiest one to install and to start using. You will get packages ready for most of distributions and the installation is really simple: http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Ubuntu+and+Debian+packages http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Ubuntu+and+Debian+packag... I can create test database with web frontend just to test and experiment a little - please let me know if you are interested (at beta@ninjaci.com).
- gexla 15y agoThere isn't a best. You have your use case, and then you pick the best available for that particular case. Most popular doesn't mean most useful for your needs. Do a Google search for one of the many grids available which show which options are best for which cases. If you want to go with something that is best, most popular, easiest to install, etc, then go with MySQL or PostgreSQL.
