NoSQL Systems
Why NoSQL
The Diaspora story
In 2010, when the Diaspora team was making this decision,
Etsy's articles about using document stores were quite
influential ... Likewise, at the time, Facebook's Cassandra was
also stirring up a lot of conversation about leaving relational
databases. Diaspora chose MongoDB for their social data in this
zeitgeist. It was not an unreasonable choice at the time, given the
information they had.
- Yes, it was an unreasonable choice.
- There was an obvious mismatch between requirements and
NoSQL capabilities.
