i remember diaspora chanting about using mongodb.

then a year or two later they admitted that their data model mostly fitted the relational model, and that they spent a lot of time basically reimplementing relational integrity in application code, in ruby.

yeah, diaspora has never been fast. I'm not sure they can blame it on mongodb though.



I remember the Mongo hype when it came out and I really couldn't understand it. You are just throwing away a lot of useful features of a relational database because "schemaless" and "big data". The majority of people using it were on single server setups.
