Which database program do you use? MySQL, MongoDB etc.
I'm using MySQL at the moment, but a lot of jobs requires MongoDB. Does anyone know why?

Though I can't get it to work on my dedicated server, giving up for now...

There's a lot of work for Mongo because they all got hacked and now need capable developers for securing it. 😂

I use Mongo, love it.

@W1ckeD seriously? What programming language are you using?

MongoDb, Redis, Neo4J, couchDb, raven, mssql, nedb. Three different projects

Mainly MariaDB (MySQL) and Redis.

@viking8 why not mysql, what's the benefit with the other ones that you use?

@SpeedyCate I normally don't prefer sql, but it was already established in the project when I joined. Using MongoDb for reports there though.

What db depend on what is needed. It's fully acceptable to use multiple dbs, for different areas. Once you always use the same by default, take it as a warning sign that you are stagnating and way settled in your comfort zone :)

MariaDB > MySQL cause it's completely free. And it's hard to compare MySQL and MongoDB, SQL vs NoSQL. Different technologies, different use cases.

Postgres for real projects. Whatever clouds key value store for example apps.

@zantekk yeah usually I would go for MariaDB as well because of the open source fact and that it is faster than MySQL nur I like be the JSON type in 5.7.

Thanks for the answers! I will definitely check mariadb and mongodb out, when I can figure out how to configure on my server 🤔

RethinkDB, like Mongo but painless and has join support.
