Lots of discussions on this topic on the forum but any dating less than a year...
My current setup : Laravel 7 / php 7.2
I need to develop a potentially rapidly growing web app, and I need a scalable, high secure database which will contain structured and unstructured datas.
So my choice go to a NoSQL database and Cassandra seems to suit my needs.
Any chance Cassandra work with my current setup ?
I could downgrade to Laravel 5.4 and php 7.1 but .... :/
Any people experienced with it plz ?
If no chance other NoSQL suggestion ?
Thx for answer :)
Cassandra is not really a popular choice for most Laravel developers, even though it's a great tool. In these cases, you're probably better off building your own solution for this since the existing solutions are outdated or not maintained anymore.
If you're looking for an alternative, mongodb might be an option for you. There is better support around packages and tutorials for this NoSQL solution.
Also downgrading is never a solid solution, only to support a certain database.
To be honest, you probably don't even need a tool like Cassandra unless you process a million records per hour. I have some applications running with over 50 million records on a simple MySQL database which all works fine.
Okay thank's for your answer that's what I wanted to know :)
As regards MySQL that's another topic but I recently read a post that inform about the danger and enumerates some lacks of security and vulnerabilities, another reason I wanted to choose another one.
Sorry it's a french post but if you can traduce, it's interesting and a bit appalling.
