I've never worked in a place that didn't use different database. Maybe we're not talking about the same thing, but how are you developing new things if you don't have separate databases? Are you making changes directly on your production database while you're creating new things? How do you test things?
Do you keep everything in the same database, or do you have multiple and then collect data from different APIs?
Not that you need an ORM to have several or indeed different databases. I'd argue that it doesn't even make it that much easier.
- other_herbert 3y agoIt’s unlikely that you would be using different db vendors.. not different databases for different environments, that you absolutely should be doing … but pgsql in one and mssql in another is super unlikely
- miahi 3y agoThey mean database agnostic - that you can easily/magically migrate your application from a DBMS to another and the ORM will handle it for you. That usually works only for trivial databases and does not include data migration.
- devjab 3y agoAh ok. Yeah, nobody does that.
