Every now and then I see a new opensource distributed and whatnot database pop out, now, I'm totally naive in terms of databases and distributed systems. Do we really need all this Databases? What's special about this one? Can someone give me a summary of the main ones (Mongo, Redis, Rethink, Riak, etc.) ?
Now not discouraging InfluxDB or anything, as a systems programming fan it's great to see more things like this coming, and as a Gopher too.

- dysoco 13y agoAs I said, "Now not discouraging InfluxDB or anything". I have nothing against freedom of choice (That's what I use Linux for example) But I do agree that fragmentation might be bad (E.g. 200 Linux distros).
