Anti-RDBMS: A list of distributed key-value stores
- You’re suffering from Cloud-computing Mania.
- You need an excuse to ‘get your Erlang on’
- You heard CouchDB was cool.
- You hate MySQL, and although PostgreSQL is much better, it still doesn’t have decent replication. There’s no chance you’re buying Oracle licenses.
- Your data is stored and retrieved mainly by primary key, without complex joins.
- You have a non-trivial amount of data, and the thought of managing lots of RDBMS shards and replication failure scenarios gives you the fear.
