As a side note, I was wondering why nobody ever mentioned TokuMX as a replacement for the standard MongoDB where ACID and transactions are needed. Has anyone any experience using it with Meteor?
Did you take a look at OrientDB? It’s really promising.
You can get a document graph db supporting transactions - ACID. I don’t know if the Meteor OrientDB package is production ready though.
I know I am necrobumping, but I want people to know that the very-real-problems with Mongo have been fixed in Mongo 3.4, and Mongo 3.6 is looking GOOD.
Meteor 1.5.1 is still on Mongo 3.2. I hope MDG can update soon.
Massive updates coming to Meteor via 1.5.1/2 https://blog.meteor.com/announcing-meteor-1-5-1-b65ecddf955b. Meteor 1.6-beta already includes Mongo 3.6 and Node 8. Check this pull request https://github.com/meteor/meteor/pull/8728
FWIW I’ve been using the 1.6 release builds since the first alpha was put out with node 8, it’s all been going smoothly. If you’re not in production yet, give it a shot
I think you can standup any database you want with graphql
