I’m working on a “real-time” website using Nodejs. Currently, I’m using Redis because I need high performance for read-access. The write accesses are not really significant for my use case.

In addition, Redis does not have a query language for the search. So, I create my indexes manually and I use some unions/intersections/… to find some values.

I think that it will be easier to use MongoDB with a embedded finding system and a ORM-like (Mongoose for example). The problem is that I’m not sure that MongoDB is the best choice for my usecase.

What is your advices about the NoSQL DB that I need ? Redis ? CouchDB ? MongoDB ? Cassandra ? etc.

I repeat: I want to have a real good performance for the read accesses and for the searches (the write accesses are not significant), the simplest possible (orm-like ? finding system ? etc.)

Thanks.

    I believe that redis would be the better solution for the following reasons.

    1. You require fast read access and redis provides the fastest solution since the keys are in memory, if not most.

    2. Although mongodb is easier to query in the general case, your problem domain is narrow and once you decide how you would like to query the data, you can put the correct data structures and indexes in place.
