I think you're conflating MongoDB with NoSQL; they're not the same thing.

  I'm aware of that, but read the other comments, most of the criticism is around the nature of NoSQL versus using SQL databases, the most common criticism is no scheme and the underlying common assumption is that banks are better off with SQL, after all, that is what they have been using for years... maybe not? The other statements are not even well reasoned, you read things like "this is madness" or "they up to disaster", "lol just lol", "they're gone", not explaining why. You would expect better arguments from the folks here. Some pointed flaws in the design or implementation, and I'd argue with time and money, it will get sorted out, again SQL had years optimization and research. I'd go further, I'd argue is that NoSQL is more flexible and easier to work with than SQL and I think it is a good thing that large organizations are given it a real try, so we have a large scale case studies, instead of completely dismiss the effort as a failure from the get-go.

      Because I think there are a lot of highly educated and tech people this forum. Thus, I'd assume they would more inclined to value reasonable and logical arguments in contrast to an online space like a general Facebook group for example. You don't think I should keep that expectation?
