relational databases suck for this

[uniphil]

We have 7.4Mb of data stored, according to Heroku Postgres. And I can't load tweets, because that would surpass our 10,000 row free plan limit. Very soon, someone's going to cause the whole site to break because we'll actually hit it.

$9/mo for 10M rows, but I don't know how far that will actually carry us, given how fast we hit 10k.

-- or --

given that our data is small, we just need a lot of rows because our data structures are a bit complex, we can switch to mongodb and get half a gig of storage for free before we have to start paying.

It would mean redoing a lot of work, and there's no embedded mongodb like sqlite that's convenient for development, so we'd all also have to install mongo to work on it.
