Reading this makes me realize how naive my DB setup is for my startup.
- easp 18y agoDid you read the part where they said this was the third or 4th iteration of their DB backend? Or maybe I read that somewhere else. Point being, experience will come.
- d13hard 18y agodon't go too gaga over this hash-on-the-db appraoch, or its non-rdbms based solutions at all the major web companies. you get lots of scaling, great performance, but you have zero features. you can't even really query. these models have superficial appeal until you realize that all the querying you would do in the db model now has to be done out-of-band into some sort of materialized view...e.g. if you want to have a group of rows that meet some criteria, you need to store it somewhere else out of band...the database can't help you with realtime queries because there is nothing to query on in general i would avoid this model unless you have a huge scaling issue
