Somebody came here asking for help with a real world problem.
It would be doing this person a disservice to not mention alternative technologies that have solved very similar problems that have affected many other people/organizations.
It is total absurdity to avoid bringing up these solutions to the problem merely in order to maintain some vague purity of the discussion, or to otherwise keep the discussion unnecessarily and unhelpfully focused.
- mikegioia 12y agoI feel like you're just ignoring what I'm saying. It is NOT helpful to suggest alternative technologies all the time, especially in this specific post. If I asked on a forum for help with the engine on my Dodge Dart, and you posted "Just buy a Prius", that would not be helpful. Do you see how that isn't helpful? That's what I'm trying to say, that I would like to see, for once a post stay on topic when it's about MongoDB (heck, even PHP for that matter!).
- Ronaldo777 12y agoIf using a Prius instead of a Dart would very likely solve the problem(s) being experienced, then it is a perfectly reasonable thing to suggest. It would be wrong not to suggest it. This submission is about a problem involving MongoDB. It is not about MongoDB itself. The submitter clearly wants a variety of ideas here. That's why the submission says, and I quote, "Any tips, stories, suggestions are welcome!" "Any" means "any", including the suggestion that some other technology be used.
