In comparison, <a href="http://www.mongodb.org/" target="_blank">MongoDB</a>’s and <a href="http://couchdb.apache.org" target="_blank">CouchDB</a>’s capabilities are pale. <em>And that is okay</em>, they have different priorities. MongoDB <a href="http://nosql.mypopescu.com/post/392868405/mongodb-durability-a-tradeoff-to-be-aware-of" target="_blank">drops ACID</a> for speed. The CouchDB and Cassandra people <a href="http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/Durability" target="_blank">grow</a> <a href="http://jchrisa.net/drl/_design/sofa/_show/post/How-CouchDB-Treats-the-Disks" target="_blank">grey</a> hair over such statements; on the other hand MongoDB seems crazy fast. CouchDB trumps everyone with <a href="http://blog.couch.io/post/468392274" target="_blank">peer-to-peer replication</a> and a reliable simple storage model, and boy does it handle <a href="http://erlang.org/" target="_blank">concurrency</a> well. <a href="http://code.google.com/p/scalaris/" target="_blank">Scalaris</a> keeps transaction in NoSQL-land; <em>distributed transactions</em> (you heard me). CAP says we’re all fucked (<a href="http://cacm.acm.org/blogs/blog-cacm/83396-errors-in-database-systems-eventual-consistency-and-the-cap-theorem" target="_blank">except Mike Stonebraker, apparently</a>). <a href="http://code.google.com/p/redis" target="_blank">Redis</a> rocks the world with remote data structures and atomic operations over them plus being one of the <a href="http://github.com/antirez" target="_blank">kick-assest Open Source projects</a> out there. Graph traversal? <a href="http://neo4j.org/" target="_blank">Hello Neo4j</a>. CouchDB laughs at the rest for not being fully based on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REST" target="_blank">open web standards</a>, and they laugh right back because HTTP has more overhead than traditional binary database protocols.</p> </blockquote> <p>Great resume of the main NoSQL projects pros and cons!</p>http://log.filipepina.com/post/515691019http://log.filipepina.com/post/515691019Mon, 12 Apr 2010 14:30:27 +0100nosqlmongodbcouchdbcassandraredis<a href="http://paulirish.com/work/gordon/demos/">http://paulirish.com/work/gordon/demos/</a>: <p>this running smooth on more complex flash movies would really rock!!</p>http://log.filipepina.com/post/335826746http://log.filipepina.com/post/335826746Fri, 15 Jan 2010 14:11:54 +0000
