I doubt ElasticSearch is easier to set up and get started with than MongoDB, especially if you're coming from limited knowledge about either.


ElasticSearch is trivial to set up, especially if we're talking about a small project like a hackathon.

It's not without its problems but ES's first-fifteen-minutes story is pretty good.


ElasticSearch takes less than 5 minutes to set up, and you literally just perform HTTP requests against it. In my opinion it is much easier than setting up MongoDB.


Use Redis, then.


Actually Redis is as safe as PostgreSQL. Read the documentation please :)


Why?
