"In this regard I think key-value stores are preferred over document stores such as MongoDB and CouchDB. A key value store makes it clear where the semantics of the data belong."
True, but I've used CouchDB successfully in applications too ... that's a mental "note to self" you need to keep. If the value in a key-value store is completely opaque, you can't do views (my favorite part of CouchDB).
- bitdiddle 13y agoI totally agree, I've used CouchDB a lot myself and a "mental note to self" or other best practice can suffice, especially if programmers leave or otherwise document those notes for their successors :) CouchDB views are really neat, something that distinguishes it from others.
