What are the advantages of nosql btw ?
- threeseed 13y agoBasically developers came for the scalability and stayed because they are so easy to use/manage.
- nikatwork 13y agoNoSQL is fantastic for backing item-orientated webapps, it removes the transactional and relational overheads. Conversely I would not use NoSQL for anything concerning FIRE or complex inter-related data - those safeguards become important. Scalability is something of a red herring with NoSQL. Yes it's easier to scale, but my primary criteria for choosing it would be the nature of the data, not the intended scale.
- Consultant32452 13y agoA more "use-case" example than your other responses.. I believe Amazon uses a NoSQL database for their product data. It's tons of reads and relatively few writes. They don't give a crap about transaction quality for product descriptions, comments, etc. However, when you get to the checkout page and they start doing things like taking your money and updating their inventory... that's and ACID compliant database. When you're dealing with money you want transactions, rollbacks, etc.
