Would 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.
