Facebook: There Are No Published Cases of NoSQL Databases Operating at the Scale of Facebook’s MySQL Database
Joe Maguire referring to the Facebook talk embedded below MySQL and HBase:
if Facebook doesn’t need NoSQL, who does?
My answer: many of those that cannot employ a specialized team to hack the hell out of MySQL to make it work at that scale.
On the flipside, many other companies don’t have the time or engineering power to grow their product together with a NoSQL database.
