Well, I'm not a fan of docker, but I do like Mongo. MongoDB marries well with Node, and things like json-patch. Especially great when dealing with graph-like structures, though jsonb data types in recent rdbms' have gone a long way towards evening the playing field there. I've also come to appreciate Mongo's pipeline approach to aggregation. I hated it with a passion at first, but when coupled with Compass, I've found it makes aggregation stages much easier to reason about than the equivalent SQL.
