  All the tech there is not really boring. If you want boring take db2.

  I don't think 5 years has done much of a favor for MongoDB. Boring in this context doesn't necessarily mean 'old' technology. It means technology that is so stable & reliable that you forget it's there. I can go weeks on end before being tangentially reminded that we use SQLite to store business entities. I am usually in the arena of business logic working with our various customers. This is what boring technology means to me. Stuff that "just works" and never causes you to spend any time worrying about it.

  MongoDB is full of surprises, especially when it chews your data for no given reason or when its performance slows to a crawl. I'll take ye old PostgreSQL (with JSONB if I need unstructured data) or even mariadb.
