MongoDB VS RethinkDB

First, visit MongoDB Atlas and create an account, or sign in if you already have one. This article will guide you through the process of creating a MongoDB account. You should be redirected to your dashboard once you have completed the process. Locate the Connect button and click it.

On the other hand, NoSQL databases are non-relational databases. They store data in flexible, JSON-like documents, key-value pairs, or wide-column stores. Examples include MongoDB, Couchbase, and Cassandra.

I built each API with Node.js, Express, and Docker. Services connected to a NoSQL MongoDB database.

In edge computing, managing time series blob data efficiently is critical for performance-sensitive applications. This blog post will compare ReductStore, a specialized time series database for unstructured data, and MongoDB, a widely-used NoSQL database.

MongoDB to store our data as documents, close to JS objects

MongoDB: Known for its ease of development and strong community support, MongoDB is effective in scenarios where flexible schema and rapid iteration are more critical than strict ACID compliance.

MongoDB

Ensure you have MongoDB installed for data storage. You can download MongoDB Community Server from MongoDB's official website or use the cloud cluster.

We will be using MongoDB as a database on both the Auth microservice and notifications microservice, sign up for a MongoDB Atlas account here incase you donot have one and donot have its desktop application(mongodb campass) installed and would like to use mongodb atlas. This cloud-based database service offers a free tier and simplifies the process of managing MongoDB databases.

Head over to MongoDB and create an account or login to grab your connection string.

I've been poking around, testing and breaking database servers for a long time (more than 20 years today). But a few years ago I came across a jewel, the grail, one of the best solutions available. Under the radar, shunned for whatever reason, RethinkDB is nonetheless one of the finest database server projects I've ever tested.

RethinkDB[0] looks like a "too good to be true" type of database. Anyone using it in production? What is your experience like? What are the pros and cons?

Since you’re not new to the field you might want to peek https://rethinkdb.com/ since it got picked up as an open source project.

No I don't think that's relevant. They implement their own btree it seems [0].

They don't use a key-value store library.

I know it's a bit of a fine line. But I'm talking about standalone libraries people embed across different applications/databases. That's what RocksDB/LevelDB/Pebble are.

A Data Objects represents data which can be saved inside a database. This concept is in the heart of SQLAlchemy, but as the name should be obvious: it's for SQL Database (in general). Today, there are now document databases too (like MongoDB, ArangoDB, RethinkDB that I love so much, or even PostgreSQL). So, a "data" is like a "structured and typed document" that you save "as is". That's not the same paradigm, not the same controls. There are advantages and disadvantages, but we won't debate that here.

There are multiple ways to share data between two (or more) instances of your app: - you can use a shared storage, such as Cloud Firestore, - you can build your own backend (based on a real-time database, such as RethinkDB), - or you can rely on local communication using the Multipeer framework you linked.
