Skills I Was Missing as a MongoDB User

Honest question, is MongoDB still being chosen as a new DB technology these days? It feels like SQL won except for specialized use cases. Also looking at stuff like pg_vector.
dondraper36•4mo ago
+1

I'd also like to understand whether there are still any cases when MongoDB is the right choice

georgeburdell•4mo ago
Yes. My group is utterly incapable of adhering to a schema so it's easy for them to just dump data in roughly the right spot and let people like me worry about how to grab it back out in a systematic way.
kennu•4mo ago
I feel the opposite about SQL: It is often being shoehorned into use cases that don't fit the relative/transactional database model at all. My own default database is AWS DynamoDB, because it fits 90% of my own use cases quite well and offers a fast approach for iterative development. Recently I've been evaluating how to find the same level of abstraction in open source databases, and MongoDB feels like the closest match. Postgres with JSONB comes second, but manipulating JSON with SQL is not very comfortable and tends to result in subtle problems e.g. when something is NULL.

Not a big fan of this kind of promo article that just links to several of their own learning resources instead of giving some actual examples inline.

I've worked in Mongo enough to know that whatever decision I make will end up being wrong.

What i will never understand is why mongo doesn't have some simple means of document referencing that automatically updates documents a doc is embedded in. If it's such an important pattern that every app needs to reinvent for itself, just add it to the system.

VWWHFSfQ•4mo ago
We've seen a convergence of document DBs adding relational features, and relational DBs adding document features.

I had such a bad experience with Mongo DB that I will absolutely never use it again, and will never recommend that anyone else use it either.

This alone will get you 90% of the benefits of Mongo DB but with the full power of Postgres for everything else:

    create table document (
        id uuid primary key default gen_random_uuid(),
        doc jsonb not null
    );
