I dont understand why you are posting this on here? Is it to point at him and laugh? Its seems pretty childish to point out someone's hardship on here.

  I'm not the OP, but it's more likely to point at Mongo. Easy scalability through sharding is one of its advertised strengths.

  NewsBlur is one of the top contenders to replace Google Reader, which is closing in 3 months. The guy behind it posted some of his scaling troubles before https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5391713 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5391713 and his twitter @NewsBlur has been keeping users up-to-date with performance issues and planned downtime for migration etc. This story is interesting to watch.

    "This story is interesting to watch." This is a JIRA. It became a story once you posted it and commented on it in Hacker News.

      I meant the whole story of NewsBlur being at the right place at the right time and trying to scale really, really fast.

  Are you new to HN ? Bashing MongoDB seems to be a sport around here. Just waiting for the inevitable "this would never happen with PostreSQL" comments to appear.

    I don't see it as "bashing MongoDB". Many of us here just don't have time to waste on technology that purports to be suitable for high-end work, but then fails us time and time again. As this incident shows, MongoDB can, and often does, end up in this position of failure. Anyone faced with a MongoDB failure of some sort shouldn't put up with it, and should be very vocal about it. It's important to let others know the problems that can be experienced when using MongoDB.
