MongoDB is a fun toy database right now, nothing more. Unless you have the resources to fix every problem that comes up, you should use a mature database like Postgres or MySQL (MySQL is not as terrible as some might think).
- threeseed 11y ago"Mature" doesn't make it necessarily better. I have had catastrophic data losses with Oracle and Teradata and none with Cassandra or MongoDB. And I would disagree that Mongo is a "toy". We use it as part of our core EDW and we have petabytes of data in our data lake. No issues what so ever.
- takeda 11y agoCan't coment on your experience with Oracle and Teradata, but the danger with MongoDB is that it has non-catastrophic data corruption. One that you don't even realize until you compare the data with canonical source.
