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), they had some issues. But they now run 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 can be hard. Atlas does it for you, but…
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 you can configure the ACID properties.…
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 small companies to innovate and not…
>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, they could just negotiate with MongoDB…
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 common with a quick Google:…
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 show that is only stores the most…
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 anyways) - atomically consistent within a…
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, MongoDB is focused mostly on the…
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 focus. Very good point.
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 growing up from a memory-mapped db 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/BITNET, etc and all heck broke loose. No…
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 want with the code. There has been a lot…
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 DocumentDB and CosmosDB MongoDB imitators.…
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 Community not be an ok choice? Unless you're…
Out of curiosity from somebody watching, what makes you say it's still trash?
I get your point, and thanks for the discussion. My thought is that even software with an OSI approved license can be moved to a non-OSI license at any time. So you can't actually insure against the dystopian future you…
