what's the scrappy open source alternative nosql db that actually needs users/support/tutorials now that mongodb has gone IPO? https://www.cnbc.com/2017/10/19/mongodb-mdb-ipo-stock-price-on-first-trading-day.html (to be clear, I like mongodb and have friends that work there and would continue to suggest it to clients, but I'd rather spend my own time supporting smaller, more radical, less cash-rich projects)
@ReganKoopmans doesn't have to be a document database specifically!
@aparrish do you mean mariadb, the drop-in replacement for MySQL?
@kd0bpv I know about mariadb. looking for nosql-ish solutions, which have particular affordances that make them easier for some projects
databases Show more
nosql datastores Show more
Apart from CouchDB I would check out https://www.arangodb.com/ and maybe https://www.cockroachlabs.com/ (though the latter is SQL based)
@aparrish postgres with jsonb. :-)
@pnathan just looked it up and wow I didn't know that postgres would even do json-internal indexes. nice
@aparrish modern pg is splendid and glorious.
I politely melt down at people when they use other things unless they can present actual reasons their use case won't work for a well tuned pg install
@aparrish
Orientdb - privately held, but Java
ArangoDB - C++ but VC-backed (no IPO yet)
Dgraph - new, interesting, lacks sufficient docs
Tidb - NoSql but speaks MySql wire protocol so you can use most mysql/maria clients and get NoSql too
Redis - you probably know about aleeady
Not really scrappy things, there's scrappier ones, but thesenwork pretty well already
@aparrish I really like LMDB. No fancy sharding or query lang. But if you want a serverless, insanely fast key-val store, it works really nicely. (and has good Python bindings)
Some friends are into Pouchdb (https://pouchdb.com/) lately.
@aparrish I didn't even know that MongoDB had taken that step 😕 Would you also want a document database like mongo? Or any nosql database?
