I’m writing a chat program for iOS (and eventually Android). I’d like to write the server code in Rails, since it’s what I’m most comfortable with. I’m loosely basing my initial design on this tutorial to start with, though the application will eventually be far more complex.

I’m wondering whether it would make sense at all for the app’s performance to go with a nosql solution for storing chat messages, rather than MySQL or postgreSQL. And, if yes, what nosql solution might be best — mongodb, couchdb, Cassandra, etc.?

Thanks a lot!

    Mongo’s a good choice you can setup it fast and use it rightaway there’s also a good api for it http://api.mongodb.org/ruby/1.5.2/ and of course http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Rails+3+-+Getting+Started

    Cheers 🙂
