Anyone else have a good story about Mongo as a speccing tool (as opposed to a long term solution)?

  I did need a schemaless store for a project I was prototyping, but then I didn't see why I had to install MongoDB just to get a simple schemaless store. So, I wrote Goatfish: https://github.com/stochastic-technologies/goatfish/ https://github.com/stochastic-technologies/goatfish/

    Wait, you found it too difficult and time-consuming to install software, so instead you wrote software?

      I think he mains maintaining a mongodb installation, which is not trivial. Same reason people use SQLite instead of MySQL or Postgres. Don't want to have to deal with keeping a database server up.

        Exactly. This way, I get my schemaless datastore without leaving the stdlib, and it doesn't eat my data at unsuspecting times.
