Am I wrong in finding a happy medium between multiple technologies?
No, you are correct. The main source of contention lies in people trying to use a particular technology outside of its comfort zone. Many in the NoSQL crowd suggest that this is a common symptom of SQL installations. Unfortunately, a good portion of the arguments that address this point are hyperbolic and seem to suggest that SQL is rarely the right tool. This is what keeps degrading the signal to noise ratio.
- bjclark 17y agoTo elaborate on qhoxie's statement, NoSQL is great for some things, but there is this idea out there that it's a panacea for scaling your webapp. And while all the things highlighted in the article are performant, few of them even scale, and none of them are perfect.
