Every person I know who has ever used Cassandra in prod has cursed its name. Mongo lost data for close to a decade, and Microservices mostly are NOT used to solve real world problems but instead used either as an organizational or technical hammer for which everything is a nail. Hell there's entire books written how you should cut people off from each other so they can "naturally" write microservices and hyperscale your company!!
- threeseed 1y agoSo all of this is just meaningless anecdotes. Whereas the fact is that Datastax and MongoDB are highly successful companies indicating that in fact those databases are solving a real world problem.

- threeseed 1y agoWhat an idiotic and childish take. Yes using JSON to store your data will kill millions of people.
- const_cast 1y agoThat wasn't his point. His point is that a company being successful is evidence of nothing. Plenty of companies are successful and make shit products, often on purpose. There's a whole sleuth of companies that have the entire business venture of "do what X does but shitter". And they make a lot of money. So, if your evidence is "well MongoDB makes money" then that doesn't mean much.
