Have you tried MongoDB yet?

I know most of you are probably still on the LAMP stack, but I was curious if anyone had tried MongoDB yet as a replacement for MySQL. What was your experience with that?

Here's an intro to it if you haven't heard about it yet: https://urpad.net/blog/what-is-mongodb/

I'd love to hear some devs' thoughts on this. Thanks!

 

We've tried both MongoDB and MariaDB, but in regards to performance MariaDB is much more faster and more secure, but still MongoDB is decent and performs well.

 

Thanks for the recco. Mongo seems like a nice replacement for MySQL but we've only started tinkering...no really intensive use yet.

I'll have to give MariaDB a try. Grazie!

 

One feature that looks interesting in MariaDB is dynamic columns. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to index them which makes them pretty useless as of now.

What is the performance of MongoDB as compared to a large entity-attribute-value database structure in MySQL? MySQL is fine for the simple stuff. But it is severely lacking in features compared to other database systems.

 

I'd opt for MariaDB instead of MySQL and Mongo. The performance is better and Maria is now officially supported by cPanel which is the most popular Linux control panel.
