Redis is fast too, but I don't go around comparing it to a proper database =/

I had such a bad experience with Mongo DB back in 2012-2013 that I don't think I'll ever use it again, or even really consider it. But maybe it's changed and gotten better since then?

Anyway. I just use Postgres.

/dev/null scales better than all of them

All I know is, I’m using PostgreSQL and enjoying it!

I heard MongoDB is webscale, yeah?

But is it web-scale?

/dev/null : the optimal solution for write-only workloads

I was there in 2010s migrating Mongo databases chosen by "expert consultants" to Postgres and dealing with the fallout of massive tech debt those decisions usually caused. Won't get fooled again - no matter how many fluff articles they write you will sooner find me rotting in this barren earth than see me pick MongoDB for a new project.

I loathe so much getting data out of mongo in a reasonable fashion. Pipelines are a nightmare to accomplish what you can do in 10 seconds writing sql.
