Apache Cassandra vs MongoDB

Developers should learn and use Apache Cassandra when building applications that demand high write throughput, fault tolerance, and global scalability, such as IoT platforms, real-time analytics, messaging systems, and recommendation engines meets mongodb is widely used in the industry and worth learning. Here's our take.

Apache Cassandra

Nice Pick

Developers should learn and use Apache Cassandra when building applications that demand high write throughput, fault tolerance, and global scalability, such as IoT platforms, real-time analytics, messaging systems, and recommendation engines

Pros

  • +It is ideal for scenarios where data is time-series or event-driven, and when strong consistency can be traded for eventual consistency to achieve better performance and availability
  • +Related to: nosql, distributed-systems

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

MongoDB

MongoDB is widely used in the industry and worth learning

Pros

  • +Widely used in the industry
  • +Related to: mongoose, nodejs

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use Apache Cassandra if: You want it is ideal for scenarios where data is time-series or event-driven, and when strong consistency can be traded for eventual consistency to achieve better performance and availability and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use MongoDB if: You prioritize widely used in the industry over what Apache Cassandra offers.

The Bottom Line
Apache Cassandra wins

Developers should learn and use Apache Cassandra when building applications that demand high write throughput, fault tolerance, and global scalability, such as IoT platforms, real-time analytics, messaging systems, and recommendation engines
