> Missing out on relational features: With MongoDB, we lost out on many nice features from the relational world like CASCADE which, when specified, deletes all referenced resources across other tables whenever a target resource is deleted; this hurt in particular because our data was very much relational. I'd be very curious what their data model was in relation to this problem. I wonder if denormalization of the data would have solved the problem without a need for a full database hop.
