I was impressed (surprised?) at how civil this response was. Probably because it was a response to Joel and not randomHNuser9 :) I was also surprised that it didn't really address the question of whether or not you (37S, dhh) are "stewing

You're going to a depth that is testing the limits of my example :) You wouldn't have to do that. You can have deep indexes, and query on those attributes. So if events had invites embedded, and invites all had email addresses for their

Got it. I agree. The "where exists (select 1...)" thing was neat. Learned me something.

Ahh I was not clear. sad trombone In this case, the events in the user document are events that the user is HOSTING. There would be another object in our data model to represent the people that got invites to the event. These 'recipient

My first response was "not necessarily," but I'm gonna ratchet it up a notch to a flat out "you're wrong." Storing event_ids as an array in the events field defeats the whole purpose of organizing your data into rich documents. In real life

#3: You can force flush any write that needs to go straight to disk. insertion & update commands (at least in JS and Ruby) take an argument allowing you specify "safe_mode: true"

I'm no SQL guru, but won't that subselect will break down when users and events grow to the millions? I probably should have thought out the example a little more. We don't ever actually write that kind of query against our production data

FWIW, judging by "My team does not have experience in setting up a server" I doubt OP is going to be playing with any of that stuff.

Trust me, Heroku is not costly compared to setting up a server: $ git push master heroku is a lot cheaper then: Setup a machine. Then setup mysql, nginx, REE 1.8.6, or did you go with MRI 1.9.1? You're not gonna launch on Rails3 right? B

It's not screen-scraping. They use Yodlee and CashEdge.

Slightly off topic, but this jumped out at me: "In hindsight, I could've used something like Apache Solr or Lucene, but I just enjoyed finding the solution to a complex problem and building it myself..." If I were your client I could see g

My position is that the salaries were really just our egos. We didn't have the money to pay ourselves over $100k. The $20k "example" is actually pretty close. Ideally, take what you can to pay your mortgage. Put that on the books. Spend
