CustomInk Databases

Primarily OracleWas the “right” choice 11 years ago when the company was startedNo longer a good solution for us

MySQLPercona Server with XtraDB

MongoDB


MongoDB

ChampionsEasy to set-up and configure“Greenfield” projects with loose schema definitionsMakes development easier and developers happyLimited amount of time between releases

ChallengesNo prior experience with running productionLimited amount of time between releasesUnproven solution

Lessons Learned

Capped CollectionsTesting replica set failoverSchema free != design freeJSON in the DB, JQuery in the browser == happy developersmongo_import could not handle carriage returns in CSV filesUnserializable data typesData transformations on a large dataset still painfulUnless you’re sharding, map reduce probably slower and more complex than what you’re used to
