The main thing we look at when developing is how we will store our data and what scalable plans we have for future when say 1 million users try access and query data at the same time. Relational Databases are good to start out with for a few users and to assist in data structuring, but with big data there are alot of data redundancies and storage issues like crashed tables, slow queries, e.t.c.
We at theBunch have decided to embrace NoSQL and Graph data storage. What this means for us is we can easily manipulate data easier and at a faster rate than other data storage engines.
Graph will mainly be used for social data that is accessed daily from any device by mycdbag users.
