Mike's Thoughts regarding NoSQL vs. SQL

Wow, lots of discussion here. Here are my thoughts regarding MongoDB, Mongoose, SQL, etc.:

• In real applications there is no such thing as non-relational data - data will relate to other data and this in inherently a difficult problem to optimize.
• The trade-off between SQL and NoSQL is between the benefits of ACID vs. the benefits of having a schema-less DB and super high scalability (via partitioning and not having to enforce ACID)
• Embedded documents should be used very sparingly, otherwise it sets you up for failure.
• Prefer linking over embedding documents when:
  • the lifecycles differ between the "parent" and the "child" docs (deleting one with/without deleting the other)

• you need to search or filter for specific child docs
