I use it in a | project where it's basically just serving as a big cache, so the | reliability and durability of the data is not critical. It's | certainly way easier to query than any other document-oriented | database, but getting a foothold to use for anything requiring | long-term storage would be a major challenge. | tbrock wrote: | I am biased but you are definitely missing out by just | listening to your friends on this one. These days MongoDB is | pretty mature and the "MongoDB sucks" meme is getting pretty | long in the tooth. | | It turns out it takes a decade to build a new database that's | half decent and has all the features people want. It's really | hard! | | Of course there are those databases that are "perfect" from the | start and never make mistakes but is anyone talking about them | today? Even Postgres gets it wrong sometimes. | | In my eyes, as someone who was there for the four years from | 2.0 -> 3.0, I can say that the team really did care _a lot_ | about integrity and data consistency, certainly at least as | much as developer productivity. ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2020-09-04 23:00 UTC)
