Document dbs, like crypto cycles, keep coming in and out of the zeitgeist...why? I just don't understand how purportedly smart engineers keep falling for the same traps over and over
That’s offensive to the innovation happening in crypto to be honest, compared to the lack of it in the non-relational database world
What is even left to innovate in document databases? They do a very specific thing well; it's not their fault naive engineers keep trying to use them in ways they are not intended to be used
mistakes will always be made at all stages, imo the key differentiator is how quickly they course correct and iterate
It is not a mistake when it is a decision made after a well-thought tradeoff evaluation.
