The joke I learned early on: "Migrating away from Mongo is trivial: wait long enough, and all your data will be gone anyway."

I imagine things are better now.



MongoDB: the Snapchat of databases.


That’s mean to SnapChat.


Snapchat at least warns you that your data will disappear.


Snapchat has disappearing messages as a feature.


So does MongoDB! It's a feature!


it's documented too. as per the dev rel's tweet.


it's documented, if you know how to read!

on edit: between the lines.


“Does your database have snapshot isolation?” “No, we have snapchat isolation!”


I just call it a probablistic datastore.


They’re not.


Let’s hope the data disappears after you’ve collected revenue but before you paid the expenses. Crap product, shady company, sleazeball salesforce.
