While MongoDB rightly gets credit for an easy out-of-the-box experience, Cassandra earns full marks for being easy to manage at scale.

Competitors like Couchbase and Cassandra simply couldn’t compete with MongoDB’s ability to reliably scale up deployments where the amount of data exceeds RAM availability, where data is ...

Cassandra, Couchbase, and MongoDB are all ostensibly NoSQL database management systems, but each one is built and runs in a different manner, which means they excel at different things.

A recent set of benchmarks compares Aerospike, Cassandra, Couchbase and MongoDB to see how they fare when it comes to insert throughput, maximum throughput, latency and behavior during a failover.

Compared to MongoDB, Cassandra was more write-friendly, but as both databases matured, differences in read and write performance are no longer as stark.

This latest study compares how Cassandra, Couchbase, MongoDB and Aerospike handle node failure. The tests were carried in a four-server cluster environment that received a load of 50 million ...

Though I and others expected HBase to rival MongoDB and Cassandra, its narrow utility and inherent complexity have hobbled its popularity and allowed other databases to claim the big data crown.
