MongoDB the company who drives its employees to suicide?
What are you referring to?
The headline misses that they fired her after they demanded she return to the office and she begged for a bit more unpaid mental health leave.
That’s fucked up
Thanks for the not-linked url. MSN is gross, too but a lot less so
Try to stay positive, think of all the software still using MongoDB that never got updated after 2016.
MongoDB is normally not public facing right?
It shouldn’t be
Turns out we were better off piping data to /dev/null
For GDPR compliance, absolutely
One day I’ll learn what webscale means, but it is not this day.
Not understanding why I’d need mongodb over a traditional database paying dividends today
The fact that a lot of relational databases now offer document storage does lend credence to the idea, but at the same time you lose so much when you only have document storage
But if you’ve planned your app through and know beforehand you don’t need relational data, you can skip the overhead of a RDBMS.
At least that’s what I would say if I hadn’t been in this exact situation and it later turned out we do need relational data so we had relational documents.
Also working with MongoDB without ODM is pure pain.Side tracking here : to me, it seems like every DB is relational, no?
What use case would a DB used and not be relational? With my minimal experience in DB, I haven’t seen any other use cases than a relational DB.
Cache-like storage, private user-specific data, blobby or otherwise schemaless data. Stuff like that. But IMO it’s a matter of time until you find a need to operate against this data relationally, and then you regret using document storage. I’ve made this mistake twice now and do not intend to make it again. I now consider document storage architecture to be a performance optimization with significant tradeoffs, and not a choice to be made by default for nearly any scenario.
This is small potatoes for a company that murders it’s employees in cold blood.
