NoSQL Systems
Why NoSQL
Company A
A friend works at Company A, a well-known, successful
tech company, (although not Google/Amazon/Facebook).
They tried MongoDB:
When we initially built XXXXX, MongoDB was a hot new
technology and we thought it would be fun and exciting to use
it. It was. Mongo also allowed us to move quickly without spending
a lot of time thinking through our initial schema since we could
restructure documents on the fly. And we noticed that we weren't
doing many complex queries against our database, mostly simple
lookups by key, and so we thought mongo was a good choice. Lastly,
we were intrigued about using JavaScript / JSON in our database
given our familiarity with it from our frontends.
