- threeseed 2y agoMongoDB does over $2b in revenue (and growing by 20%) each year. There are a lot of production uses.
- paulddraper 2y agoIn my experience, these are largely startups or non-production use cases. Also, MongoDB charges an arm and a leg and does not make it particularly easy to self-host (and many newer features are limited to their hosting).
- misiek08 2y agoIt’s sad, but there are a lot of companies using it. In all places I know (directly or friends) it’s being chosen as „easier”. Almost everyone ends up not knowing the real schema of data inside the database, but using Spring-magic they are already lost and not owning the data. Maybe the enterprise Mongo is not so widely spread (they earn much, because they are not cheap), but free version is IMO overused and popular :(
