- scarface74 9y agoFrom what I'm reading they were trying to do things with Mongo that it wasn't designed to do around transactions. If you have a schema that is well defined and doesn't change frequently, why use a nosql database? I chose Mongo for a relatively large project that I was responsible for because I knew the schema would change frequently, we didn't have a need for transactions and honestly we hardly ever update documents. We insert and replace. I also had enough sense to set my Write concerns appropriately. My choice was also informed by a preexisting project that the company was using that had close to 150K new documents a day with basically the same semantics as the one we started.
