Can you tell me, the scenarios you used MongoDB for? Because I'm still curious about why would anyone use MongoDB after all these years.

It is the main database for a huge Rails app. They adopted Mongo right when its popularity started to decline. I always thought it was a very poor choice since the day I joined. It is a especially bad choice considering that a lot of the data stored in it is IoT-like and the system creates a single document per event :facepalm:

I'm sorry to hear about your bad experience. From your comment I take it that you weren't using a time-series collection to store data in mdb which uses industry-standard compression techniques?

Sooo confusing. We've debated changing our name but can't bring ourselves to break up with our cute camel logo lol.

I would have suggested HumpAI if hump didn't have another meaning that might attract users you didn’t intend :)

XD lmao

Is MariaDB included in MySQL? I see no mention of it in the post, but MySQL trending downwards would make sense as people upgrade and switch over. Besides of course novelty wearing off as posited for all engines further down the post

is anyone seriously using it? even their own brand facepile is pretty weak

MariaDB is widely used, including by some extremely high-traffic sites like Wikipedia [1], as well as some quite large multinational businesses [2].

It may not be as widespread as MySQL, but that's no surprise; despite HN's disdain, MySQL is still one of the most widely-used open source databases in existence.

The data query tool linked at the bottom of the post doesn't work for me. Cloudflare shows error 600010, whatever that means. Nice that there is "no login required" but if it did, or allowed that option, maybe it wouldn't need an algorithm to decide whether my traffic is abusive because you could block abusive accounts instead

https://camelai.com/hackernews/ ? Worked for me.

Yep, that one. Praise that the algorithm likes you!

I am getting an infinite loop of 'Verify you are human'....

We use cloudflare turnstile. Sometimes it blocks some VPNs. Very rarely it blocks some browsers.

Not on a VPN. Guess I can't use this browser then? So much for HTML/Ecmascript being standards anyone could implement...
