Why NoSQL - Hackdot

Re:Why NoSQL by DonnyV on Wednesday October 06, 2021 @10:03AM (#28773322)

Been using MongoDB for 7yrs now. Best thing I've ever done. NoSQL db like MongoDB cuts down on your joins a lot! Also taking business logic out of the DB and putting it all in the application layer makes things way easier with versioning and sharing code across projects. I love that the mongo database is just used as a black box. It saves data and it queries it, nothing more. This part is rarely talked about. The installation and having multiple versions running side by side is so easy. You can't beat just copying a folder of exe's and then run it and it works. I have systems that have been running for years and have never lost data. I don't use a RDB unless the client demands it.

There’s a reason pretty much any real tech company doesn’t use nosql except in very clear explicit cases. Every single “problem “ you mentioned is not a real problem to begin with or also exists on both sides and you didn’t even realize you were dealing with them. Like migrations.

That is such a bold claim that is obviously not true.

Can you give a single example of a major tech company using nosql as its primary db for any application?
