Why I am dropping (for wrong or fake reasons) MongoDB for Mysql...

nosql:

Reasons presented in the post:

  1. Lack of transactions
  2. Missing records
  3. No means to do any joins
  4. Schema-less
  5. Unstable replication
  6. Not stable

Real question is: if these were needed then why MongoDB in the first place?

It’s amazing how quickly points #1 and #2 become crucial after the honeymoon period is over and the database needs to be dependable. “Nah, I’m not going to need it,” becomes, “holy nuts, why did I do this‽”
