Delicious irony, and MongoDB Dec 18 2009

So I guess it would stand to reason that a day after blogging about how awesome my new blog routine is, and how it helps me to post every day now, I get busy enough not to find time to really polish the draft I have going at the minute. Not wanting to lose my streak (just), I figured I’d at least try to post something useful today, even if it’s just a link to someone else.

This excellent article about MongoDB is well worth a read. I’d already used Mongo and MongoMapper a little bit on a pet project just to try it out - it powers a basic URL redirector, and runs on Heroku and the (so far excellent) MongoHQ. However after reading John’s article, I’m itching to build out something more substantial using Mongo, to take advantage of some of the really cool things that can be done using it, namely array/hash keys, and GridFS file storage.

Check out the article, then take a look at MongoDB if you haven’t already!
