Which dB language would be good for greater social media like databases? I have used PHP5/MySQL till now, but never for anything really big. I was thinking about MongoDB/Node.js/Mongoose combination to use with a ReactJS app. Can it be that PHP5/MySQL can do a job like that? Thank you in advance.
If you really want to go for greater social media like databases
, relational databases might not actually solve the purpose.
Go for something like a graph database. With implementation of nodes and edges and linked list, its performance is exponentially better than other databases.
Visit the official site of Neo4j - a free and extremely popular graphDB to begin with.
