asked this on a sqllite thread before but: anyone know a single file nosqldb that has good python bindings. i know I could just write to json or something but I'd like something that supports queries. right now I'm using MongoDB and it's completely Overkill
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Over the last few Months we’ve switched over to amazons document db just to have a managed service. We don’t regret it.
DocumentDB is still really expensive as there's no pay what you use option. I stored about 2KB of data for 72 hours and got charged fifteen dollars before I realised the mistake. They really need to come up with a per mb per hour option.
Would love to see an overview of companies that fell into the mongoDB trap and have / are migrating to another DB store.
This just doesn't happen in any other industry, if you go to a baker, you must pay for the bread, you can't in most cases even ask how this bread was made or know for sure that price was fair or not, and mind you this is just slice of bread, while in technology it takes years of experience and knowledge just to create something as crucial as a database, and yet people expect everything to be free, very liberal licensing to even profit from the product without sharing it with the original maker. I don't even like or even respect MongoDB as a database, but the amount of hostility towards anybody trying to make money off a FREE and OPEN SOURCE complex software is totally beyond me.
What are the best alternatives to mongo db going forward? Are there any forks with momentum?
No idea how that works as I don't have any experience with either of them.
Serious question: can someone explain why the server side public license is not an open source license, with specific reference to AGPL? Is it because of the provision forcing the source code release of auxillary software used to run the software as a service? As far as I can tell, it meets the FSF's free software definition and the only that seems questionable in the OSI's open source definition is point 9.
Depends on what you think 'open source' licence means. The source is literally openly available. There are just some extra restrictions on what you can do with it. The FSF and the OSI don't own what 'open source' means, of course - the term predates them and comes from intelligence.
Every time I run `brew update` (or perhaps _any_ brew command), I make 6 requests to "https://downloads.mongodb.org/current.json" (one for each version of the formula), and one request to get the SHA for mongdb-shell?
This defaults the whole point of a formula - metadata describing an installable. If that .json file is compromised in any way then suddenly you are downloading anything from _anywhere_ with no checks. By embedding the hash and the download URL in the formula, like literally every other formula does, the download will fail if the release is modified. And there is a git audit trail of any formula modifications.
No thanks.

Are you saying companies are hurt by the license, or are you saying companies are hurt by software's behavior (e.g. consistency model)?

I use lmdb pretty extensively. It is single-file (well, it has a lock file) key/value store, can be read-from/written-to by multiple processes, and embeds nicely. It has Python bindings, but I've only used it from C.
