- albertopv 3y agoAt least in Italy you may be surprised how many people use a RDBMS for almost everything. Business logic with stored procedures, FTS, queues, OLAP, data lake... It's the tool the know and they don't want to learn something else.
- _a_a_a_ 3y agoIf you could explain what a better tool is and why, I'd be extremely interested, TIA
- albertopv 3y agoWould you use postgres to queue a billion messages a day consumed by dozens of applications? Or a message broker like kafka? Would you store dozens of TB of data in postgres or in a dedicated data lake? Would you put your business logic in Oracle stored procedures, basically denying the possibility to change DBMS? Would you put your applications log and monitor data in a RDBMS? There's no better tool generally speaking, there's the tool more suited for your use case, RDBMS are now very good, but not for everything.
- _a_a_a_ 3y agoIf you're as big as Google maybe not. Most companies aren't receiving 5,000+ messages a second, and I don't understand what's so special about a data like. There's nothing wrong with storing terabytes in an RDBMS. Also nothing wrong in putting your app and monitor data in one either.
