FWIW, I routinely throw many GBs of pickled dataframes into Redis all the time, and then cluster the workload between multiple processes that are coordinated as a sort of namespaced job queue, all via Redis pubsub, blpop, l/rpush, and

I don't know how to make it much simpler, but I'll try to ELI5 for you. Geometry has a direct relationship to resonance[0]. If you can target the specific resonance frequency of the capsid, you can destroy it with a wave form. If

Mmmm... geometry. Resonance. So you take this known and documented knowledge of lipid mechanics[0], and apply that to geometry of pathogens. Very much like electroporation[1] but, with magnetic fields and RF instead of direct application of

None of your points are derogatory to MongoDB in particular, any more-so than any other database. Your points are wholly reflective of bad implementors and their implementations, not to the underlying technologies. If one misuses a tool, th

Using AWS is the problem here, and that's why it's so expensive. You could do this on bare metal WAY faster and more efficiently, and then you own the hardware forever, for the price you paid to do it for a month with a third part

Most of your points are ripe with folly. 1. ORMs are slow, but generally they are worth it, and it's trivial to dive into raw queries when needed for performance reasons. 2. Mongo supports relationships, not sure what you're tryin

Why do you all act like one party needs proof, but only because they are refuting what was said originally, also, without proof. Neither is providing proof, so asking one party for proof and not the other is obviously absurd.

The models live in version control. It's that simple. If your data structure is changing so often in such a way that you need to keep a history, then I'm afraid you have some fundamental problems that no amount of tooling or proce

If you're leaning on migrations often, with SQL, then I think you should not be using SQL, obviously (or you're just doing something wrong) Or, one should use a SQL database that allows more abstract data types (like JSON blobs in

I dunno what to tell you without specific details about your application and environment in general. Clearly, you need a better system architecture if you're having to do migrations constantly.

Yeah, pretty much. Haven't had a problem yet where I needed automated migrations, and I have been doing this for years upon years upon years. Like I said, if you're leaving heavily on migrations, you're doing something wrong.
