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?

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), the…

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 ca…

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...

>>>MongoDB also provides single document atomicity. And multi-document, in sharded clusters. 2018: https://www.mongodb.com/blog/post/mongodb-multi-document-aci... >>>But in RDBMS y…

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…

>This is basically the anti-AWS license: for AWS to run MongoDB proper, they'd need to expose source for huge amounts of their backplane. Not true. For AWS to run MongoDB proper, t…

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 co…

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 sh…

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 anyway…

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, Mo…

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 focu…

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 growin…

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 to…

AWS never hosted MongoDB, under AGPL or SSPL.

Thanks for that info. Statistics, misunderstandings, lies, benchmarks, database benchmarks...

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/BI…

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 w…

Can you explain?

Awesome book

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 Docume…

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 Commun…

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