I've used MongoDB in production since the 1.4 days. It should be noted that my apps are NOT write heavy. But, many of the author's points can be refuted by using version 2.0. Regarding the point of using getLastError(), the author is completely correct. But the problem is not so much that MongoDB isn't good, it's that developers start using it and expect it to behave like a relational DB. Start thinking in an asynchr…
No shit, nmongo. Anyone with half a brain can go look at the MongoDB codebase and deduce that it's amateur hour. It's start up quality code but it's supposed to keep your data safe . That's pretty much the issue here -- "cultural problems" is just another way of saying the same thing. Compare the code base of something like PostgreSQL to Mongo, and you'll see how a real database should be coded. Even MySQL looks like…
Links about Foursquare's problems with MongoDB. The site was down for a while when their 1.6 instance crashed: * http://blog.foursquare.com/2010/10/05/so-that-was-a-bummer/ * http://www.infoq.com/news/2010/10/4square_mongodb_outage * http://groups.google.com/group/mongodb-user/browse_thread/th... I like MongoDB, it is easy to setup, work with and to understand. I think it has an opportunity to become the mysql of nos…
This post is unparalleled FUD. We use MongoDB in production and all the issues we've encountered have been either environment or configuration related. There are plenty of things about MongoDB I don't like but this OP is a total coward. If you've got something to say, put your name on it and come out in the open. This type of post is the worst of its "hiding behind Internet anonymity" kind. And for the record, I don'…
Disclosure: I wrote a product called Citrusleaf, which also plays in the NoSQL space. My focus in starting Citruseaf wasn't features, it was operational dependability. I had worked at companies who had to take their system offline when they had the greatest exposure - like getting massive load from the Yahoo front page (back in the day). Citrusleaf focuses on monitoring, integration with monitoring software, operatio…
Pastebin author here. Refutations are going to fall into two categories, it seems: 1. Questioning my honesty 2. Questioning my competence Re #1, I'm not sure what you imagine my incentive to lie might be. I honestly just intended this to benefit the community, nothing more. I'm genuinely troubled that it might cause some problems for 10gen, b/c, again, Eliot & co are nice people. Re #2, all I can do is attempt to rea…
We extensively tested this inside Viralheat with a write heavy load of over 30,000 writes per second and basically it failed our test. It is not robust for the analytics world is the conclusion we came to. Though, I hope it gets better one day...it has potential.
People seem to be jumping on a lot of the NoSQL stuff for no good reason. You can get a lot of mileage out of something like Postgres or Mysql, and they work pretty well for a lot of things. Ok, if you get huge , you might have to figure out something else, but that's a good problem to have. On the other hand, if you've lost all your data, you're not going to get huge. I had to use MongoDB recently, and I wasn't very…
Burden of proof is on 10gen, not frustrated customers. This post is believable enough for me to avoid using MongoDB for write-heavy apps.
A story from a newly created account by a person nobody can verify is real and asking other people to submit his rant (to gain what? credibility to his story?) nomoremongo 4 hours ago | link I'd appreciate if someone would submit this story for me. http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=FD3xe6Jt What's up with the trolling here. Who are you and what company do you work for that has had all those problems you mentioned ?
