I don't understand how this got to the front page. Would anybody upvote an article about how adding indexes to a table in MySql improved performance?

- jamestoyer 14y agoI think the point here is that many people don't realise indexes matter so much in MongoDB. Their documentation doesn't go out the way to push indexes as a must. That coupled with the ease at which you can just start using it compared to say, MySQL, means that people find it interesting. I will point out that while I wrote this, it was more to try and ensure other people don't make the same mistakes.
- SwearWord 14y agoIf you someone didn't realize what indexes do then they were using a technology they had no idea about. I love Mongo but its users tend to be clueless.
- samirahmed 14y agoI partially agree, I don't see how one would not find this obvious after reading the mongo docs which explicitly say > Indexes enhance query performance, often dramatically ...
- abishekk92 14y agoExactly,the article doesn't really have anything much to say. Overhyped,headlines all over again.
- zoobert 14y agoI totally agree with you. What is the lesson here ? You need indexes to speed up queries in any structured data storage. Uh, great but I am worried about the glipho backend then. All this to get a bit of advertising.
