The thing to know about Mongo is, every database involves design choices that balance ergonomics, performance, and reliability. Every one, except Mongo which, according to their sales team, is the best at everything and has no faults, unless your technical choices are incorrect.

Went ahead and just threw my DDIA book in the trash, as they nodded approvingly.
