I want to clarify that I have never used a NoSQL database. But we were considering it for a short while at our company before coming to the conclusion that it’s the wrong choice for our application area.

I updated Sandra’s dialog in the first panel of Under A Killer Balloon: Episode 1, Page 8 since the original description of the puzzle was probably not precise enough. It’s been a long time since I had physics in school…

Richard: Sandra, please come over here for a moment. Sandra: What’s up?

What’s up? Richard: I want to tell you something very important that you must never forget!

I want to tell you something very important that you must never forget! Sandra: Yes? Richard: If data consistency is business critical, a NoSQL database will be the wrong choice! Sandra: I’ll never ever forget that, don’t worry.

I’ll never ever forget that, don’t worry. Richard: I wish my father had told me that, but I had to learn the hard way.
