Drawn to Scale Announces Spire for Mongo
Bradford Stephens (CEO Drawn to Scale):
Today, we’re announcing that we’ve ported MongoDB onto Spire as a platform. What this means is:
- You can easily scale your MongoDB cluster to 200+ TB
- You don’t need to change a line of code in your app to make it scale
- You can use ANSI SQL (yes, joins), Mongo queries, and Hadoop on the same data.
Just a couple of thoughts:
- the push of NoSQL databases to get SQL support is growing extremely fast. But I still doubt this is happening thanks to the advantages of SQL, but more due to the 30 years of investments in the SQL ecosystem.
- I don’t agree with Bradford’s “MongoQL is also great because unlike SQL, there is only one flavor”. As far as I can tell, MongoDB comes with 3 flavors of queries: the object-based query language, the aggregation framework (a combination of object-based QL and pipelining) and the Javascript-based MapReduce
- last but not least, what are Ryan Rawson’s thoughts about Drawn to Scale going Mongo.
