If your data really doesnt matter you might as well just use ElasticSearch as a document store, its a lot easier anyways

- lemevi 11y agoI doubt ElasticSearch is easier to set up and get started with than MongoDB, especially if you're coming from limited knowledge about either.
- fiatjaf 11y agoUse Redis, then.
- arthurcolle 11y agoWhy?
- EugeneOZ 11y agoActually Redis is as safe as PostgreSQL. Read the documentation please :)
- saryant 11y agoElasticSearch is trivial to set up, especially if we're talking about a small project like a hackathon. It's not without its problems but ES's first-fifteen-minutes story is pretty good.
- arthurcolle 11y agoElasticSearch takes less than 5 minutes to set up, and you literally just perform HTTP requests against it. In my opinion it is much easier than setting up MongoDB.
- meesterdude 11y agoES is wicked easy to setup and use, but it's not recommended as the primary data store for split-brain scenarios, IIRC.
- arthurcolle 11y agoOP was talking about hackathons.
- stickfigure 11y agoI've built real-world products with both ES and Mongo as primary datastores. ES is a hundred times more complicated, with a really awkward query syntax and a lot of unintuitive behavior. And, from the Call Me Maybe series, ES is no more reliable than MongoDB in a cluster. ES is amazing for what it does, but its use cases don't overlap heavily with Mongo (or RDBMSes).
