title: Can SQL Server and Mongo be used together?
body: <p>We have a large news-oriented site that has high web traffic. The architecture is your often seen DB - Repo Layer - Services Layer - Asp.Net MVC. The problem that we've been seeing is around read performance. It turns out that all this DDD domain object stuff is great, in theory, for business rules, but has made life harder when it comes to optimizing read performance.</p>
  
  <p>As a solution, I'm considering something entirely new (for us): using noSQL. I'd like to use a noSQL database for data being presented on our website. We can't get rid of our SQL Server (at least not anytime soon), but it seems to me that a practical step would be to use Mongo as a query database for all new development. </p>
  
  <p>My question is whether it is possible to use SQL Server as your database of record and Mongo as your query database together and if so, what technology/technique would you use to update updates? I'd like Mongo to be refreshed ever 15 minutes.</p>
