document store databases allow you to "basically store anything". this freedom makes it extremely difficult to analyze the results, especially with large amounts of data. graph databases handle wildly recursive relationships, but that often isn't good

if you really care about graph like data, geospacial indices within relational systems are probably one of the most interesting methods you could use to scale

i would love to see someone pull off a graph db equivalent using spacial indices in SQL. really wouldn't be that hard, could probs beat neo4j performance on high d recursion pretty easily

i havent really looked into urbit's graph store yet, but i just don't think mongo is that interesting or useful for scalable systems. i hope that there is more to it than that tbqh

I use foundationdb also. It’s not even meant for other than a datacenter really, running it on localhost isn’t it.

oh that looks pretty interesting, quite scalable lol

I run over 10 machines and a shadow for backup. The timeout is hardcoded to 5 seconds, so app devs need to take that into account
handling it.

the reason this is important is bc mongo isn't particularly difficult to implement and i wouldn't call it a graph. frankly, it's just not that useful for scalable applications imo. i have not looked at urbit's yet implementation though so i can't judge

interesting that it's more like mongo than neo
