It was picked up due to merit, IMNSHO, just not the for the factors you think highly of.
It didn't do ACID, not even nearly, but it did other praiseworthy things, with "laser focus on four critical things: onboarding, usability, libraries and support" (https://www.nemil.com/mongo/2.html https://www.nemil.com/mongo/2.html). Please don't be disparaging about any of those four.
- hodgesrm 9y agoAmen to that. The first time I used MongoDB it was stupid easy to get started. We implemented data replication from MySQL into MongoDB in a 3 hour hackathon, something that would have taken at least a week for a relational database. For a full description of the experience see: http://scale-out-blog.blogspot.com/2011/05/introducing-mysql-to-mongodb.html http://scale-out-blog.blogspot.com/2011/05/introducing-mysql... Don't put down 'easy'. It's incredibly hard to do well. P.s., I'm DBMS guy and have lived and breathed Jim Grey-style transactional consistency for decades. I'm still impressed by what they did.
