What is your favorite nosql database and why?

SaptakBhoumik on April 02, 2022

Just wanted to know about your opinion for my next project:)

I would recommend the EdgeDB. edgedb.com/
It is not nosql, it uses EdgeQL to do quaries.

You haven't answered the 'why' part.

I would say MongoDB because of its many features. I also like it because can be used in blockchain applications (see BigchainDB project).

Thanks for the suggestion... I will most probably use mongodb

Neo 4j , I love how it is simply nodes and relationships rather than tables , connection tables , more tables , foreign keys etc. and the cypher query language is so intuitive
additionally the database visualisation tool is amazing , so easy to make sense

Redis because of all the functionality and super fast

Ivan Jeremic • Apr 3 '22

It has nothing to do with being NoSQL

HarperDB.
It’s both a nosql and an sql database.
They’re very quick to reply if you have any questions.

Ivan Jeremic • Apr 2 '22

Closed source.

Google Cloud Firestore. It's not open source. I get it. But if you're using GCP, it is a very good option.

MongoDB, because it has a json-like structure

Ben Halpern • Apr 2 '22

Does Redis count?

Drew Ronsman • Apr 4 '22

Redis should count because it has redis json which makes it behave like a document oriented database

I think it does , its a key-value pair database there are no tables, and there's no database defined or enforced way of relating data so I think its NoSql
