Thanks for bringing up nightmares. Inventory on the web is one thing, think about how you'd do this for inventory in person at the store when a customer has product A in their hand and cash in the other. The inventory system says there aren't any in stock - should you sell them one? Of course.
Are you tracking individual lots of inventory and the costs you paid for them? Against which lot did you sell this one? You don't have any - so how do you calculate the margin for this item you sold but don't know how much it cost or where it came from? If it is returned, do you restock that inventory?
Mongo, SQL - they have there differences, but doing inventory management is tricky no matter what technology you use.
