I say No to NoSQL - Big Data Solutions are Coming!

I've spent almost three weeks trying to find a scalable relational database solution for my next application. I am not a DB expect, by I built many web apps against SQL Server and MySQL. MY next app, if will be successful, will need to scale to terabytes of data.

MongoDB Node.js as alternative to MySQL and ASP.NET


I spent the last two weeks searching for a DB technology for my new web+mobile app. I am an ASP.NET developer, so the first thing I've done is searching for a SQL Server or MySQL DB solution.

The problem is that I wanted a scalable solution for MySQL, and I just couldn't go with Amazon RDS, which will lock me to 1TB of data capacity. Furthermore. There are problems that are related to scalability  other than just size..

Today I am searching for a new DB solution that can fit the very high demands of popular mobile apps. I want a DB solution that can automatically scale capacity without limitations. That means that it can scale to hundreds of terabytes without me needing to do anything.
