People working @Google, @Facebook, @Apple, @Amazon, @Netflix and @Microsoft: MongoDB engineers keep saying you use their crappy database. I worked with it, hated it. So inefficient. MongoDB folks here keep saying FAANG all heavy users of it. Not buying it, not when I was there. See: https://us.teamblind.com/s/T58HcMu4 https://us.teamblind.com/s/SeDQeffc If you work at FAANG and use it, please tell and share what it is used for.
Do we use it ? I think at uber our major datastores are written over MySQL
yeah, schemaless is all mysql. some cassandra left, but replacing that
Why replace Cassandra with MySQL ?
Is your entire account dedicated to trolling mongo?
trolling or calling them out… you may decide. JPM, you probably do use mongodb
I am in ds we don’t unsure if swe use it What are better alternatives to nosql?
At fb I’ve never heard anyone use mongo
Mostly use Spanner afaik
Yeah I'm not even sure how we'd get approval to use non Google DBs, like everything is built on top of Infra Spanner
Spanner is so far ahead of anything else that it would never make sense not to use it. The only justifiable reason would be cost. But we internally pretend like it's free 😂
Lol, no of course not. we would need to multiply our datacenter capacity by 5 and upgrade to expensive non-commodity hardware to hold the same amount of data we do now if we switched to mongo. Plus performance drop over simpler rocksdb, tao and graphql.
Using graphql with either really has a perf difference? Isn’t graphql db agnostic?
Graphql is, but perf difference is massive. Otherwise, guess what we would using?
It's web scale.
Love the reference lol
We used to use MongoDB for joke material. But I’ve forgotten it existed until you mentioned it now.
joke material? like trumps account? 🤣😂
No. Just make jokes about mongodb that are mostly not that funny. They are funny though to geeky white, male programmers though
Lol no. Maybe Netflix and some obscure teams at apple.
I laugh at the people who use Mongodb they should all be fired tbh. Mongodb isn’t even a database it’s a text file
uhh, aren’t all db’s text files in the end? ah, damn it adobe: you made me defend mongo. what you have to do that for?
I am sorry let’s agree all mongodb users should be wiped from the planet
Nope, Amazon is heavy on DDB and some internal dbs.
