Performant Database to use

[Marlon Grech]

Hey guys,

I am currently working on a web application that needs to scale quite a bit. As you can imagine there will need to be some sort of "storage" ... In a normal web app I would have SQL server DB but here I want to look at alternatives. I am not too impressed with SQL Azure thus I was thinking of looking at things like Mango DB.

Any help / experiences would really help ! 

Thanks

Ahh, I have been doing a lot with MongoDB lately. Are you going to be doing a lot of free text searching? If so, look at ElasticSearch instead.

What tech stack will you be using? Node?

So, IIS backend then. How tied in are you to that stack? Given the choice I find MEAN to be the perfect Mongo stack. Drop in Mongoose to cover your model as a Mongo ORM and you are gold.

1. Redis is fast as anything but has to be able to fit current working set in memory, so you need to make sure things are cleared (they can exist in a repo somewhere else), out by having time to live

2. MongoDb has good sharding model, and is easy to use. But does support a patching API (Raven does), so you must get entire document out

3. Couch / Cassandra are meant to be very good. And I also hear great things about Amazon ElastoDB

I’ve heard a lot of good things about RavenDb  but it’s also a very opinionated system. It leads you down by the nose to good usage.

Also, checkout Highway Framework. It’s a nice abstraction layer that allows you to swap out DB implementation with ease.

Thanks for all the comments... I think for now I am going to try MongoDB and see where it takes me...
