This is a huge change - the rewrite in Rust is like… wow. More and more software is being rewritten in Rust it seems.

Lol. When did you last use MongoDB and why is it a thumbtack?

by gqewogpdqa 4y ago
MongoDB is used by enterprises all over the world. It's true that it's the easiest DB to get started with, and it's also true that in the distant past (pre 3.0, back in ~2015), they had some issues. But they now run the finan

absolutely true that this is an area of improvement for MongoDB - moving from a "replica set" (a single shard cluster but without the config server cluster) to a sharded cluster can be hard. Atlas does it for you, but even then it

Do you have recent data on this auditing stuff you're referencing? MongoDB is growing much faster than Oracle, so maybe it won't fade...

It's happened 15+ times before :-) I agree - talking about actual facts - i.e. licenses - is far better. I think SSPL (and AGPL) for that matter, protect freedoms - the freedoms of small companies to innovate and not have their work g

Nope it’s implemented on the server side. I think that they are going to talk more about it at a session and maybe even in a keynote

"bike shedding" is a well known term of art in many places. That said, it might not be as prevalent as I think (or obviously OP thought). But, I was able to find that it's quite common with a quick Google: https://

Haha. Key-value is meant (IMO) to show the connection between the key and the value. You're right, it's not a "key value" store, where "key" is an adjective modifying "value" to show that is only stor

Yeah, I think MongoDB went through a set of steps - atomically consistent at document level (which is fine for many apps as you have most related data in the single document anyways) - atomically consistent within a collection - and now, wi

Google didn't acquire Snowflake - unless you know something the rest of the world doesn't ;-) But if they did, how would it be "an answer to MongoDB"? i.e. MongoDB Atlas. AFAIK, MongoDB is focused mostly on the operation

Lol. I heartily endorse people making proper choices based on their needs. With the proliferation of shiny things for developers, it's really important for people to have this focus. Very good point.

Oracle V2 was known as the "roach motel of databases". Data went in and it didn't come out. By V5, Oracle was a solid database. Why do people not give MongoDB the credit for growing up from a memory-mapped db to something far

Amazon didn't implement an entirely new database. As you can see on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_DocumentDB , they just built an (admittedly clever) PostgreSQL plugin on top of Aurora PostgreSQL.

AWS never hosted MongoDB, under AGPL or SSPL.

by gqewogpdqa 5y ago
Thanks for that info. Statistics, misunderstandings, lies, benchmarks, database benchmarks...

by gqewogpdqa 5y ago
As, surprisingly, did so many other databases and operating systems. VAX/VMS was "FIELD/SERVICE" on all new systems for many years.Then all these systems got connected to DECNet/BITNET, etc and all heck broke loose.

by gqewogpdqa 5y ago
What does “eat section 13” mean? The SSPL part? Are you looking to offer a cloud-based managed MongoDB database service to the public? If not, you can do pretty much anything you want with the code. There has been a lot of FUD posted but r

Can you explain?

I think that makes sense. Using the technology as designed without the “compatibility” layer is likely a better option. Thanks for sharing as many I think wonder about these DocumentDB and CosmosDB MongoDB imitators. However, CosmosDB is a

Totally think it's good to have lots of options. PostgreSQL using JSONB however is a way to hurt your head. Using SQL to manipulate JSON is pretty painful. Why would MongoDB Community not be an ok choice? Unless you're planning on

Out of curiosity from somebody watching, what makes you say it's still trash?

by gqewogpdqa 5y ago
I get your point, and thanks for the discussion. My thought is that even software with an OSI approved license can be moved to a non-OSI license at any time. So you can't actually insure against the dystopian future you are concerned a

I really appreciate the constructive response back. From reading all the press, it feels like MongoDB did not do this to garner more revenue but to instead prevent open-source parasites from causing MongoDB to lose money or even go out of b

Why the toxicity? AGPL was deemed by many to not be clear about what it was trying to accomplish. As I read in the various exchanges and articles around the time SSPL came out, I think they were just trying to clarify AGPL, not getting any

by gqewogpdqa 5y ago
That doesn't make sense as far as I can tell. You would need to release the source code of the managed service you built around MongoDB.
