Foursquare? For real?

Like what's gonna happen if they have a couple of corrupt data? A minor incovenience at worst?

Is anyone gonna lose millions? Nah. Anyone gonna die? Nah. Anyone gonna get sued? Naaaaaah

Also Facebook uses MySQL for their primary data. Pretty sure it's the same for ebay. Don't know about Adobe, I bet it's the same deal there too.

People get so excited when they hear some big company using X, but they have no clue in what capacity it's used. I can guarantee you that all the data that matters, that need to be consistent and whole are in some kind RDBMS.

MongoDB is used in Facebook for Parse, eBay for analytics and Adobe for Experience Manager. All are pretty important parts of their business. In particular the latter which if there was data loss would cause the biggest shockwave in the web community.

But no point discussing it with you since you think: Sony Playstation Network, Apple iCloud, Office 365 etc aren't important data to these companies.

Parse is absolute garbage. Thats why it was shuttered https://techcrunch.com/2016/01/28/facebook-shutters-its-pars...

Have you actually used Parse? Obviously not, because you wouldn't dare mention that POC in this discusssion. Hint: search around about experiences.

There's no point discussing with me, because you can't have a coherent debate. Analytics data are not critical neither primary. You really have to reread what I said.
