We use mongodb in my current clients cloud product. I agree mongo sucks big time. It has nothing to offer for our relational data (sql please) or for our little search index (elastic, or postgres please). Except for the database, the rest of our architecture is quite alright. What i do not agree on is that their atlas product is bad. It has a very nice and helpful dashboard. Atlas is quite solid when used from google cloud (downtime/slow performance just once in 2 years) and their consultant was very helpful. Not really fast response times, but it was not urgent. Also their offering is not super expensive, but we only have 50-100gb of data. Consultancy was good value for money. Dont give atlas money because you probably want a relational database for relational data and use elastic (or postgres if small scale) for search or statistics. Mongodb also sucks with scaling, it suffers from the same issues as normal databases, except that they dont call it a problem. Which means, you, the developer should fix it. It also sucks with scaling, because expertise on using mongo is scarce. Almost done at this client. Learned a lot about mongo. Would never recommend it to another client. Would recommend running managed sql databases by a cloud provider if their offering was as good as atlas.
