Do people still use MongoDB in production?
I was quite surprised to read that Stripe uses MongoDB in the early days and still today and I can't imagine the sheer nightmares they must have faced using it for all these years.
- colechristensen 1y agomongodb is a public company with a market cap of 14.2 billion dollars. so yes, people still use it in production
- djfivyvusn 1y agoI've been looking for a job the last few weeks. Literally the only job ad I've seen talking about MongoDB was a job ad for MongoDB itself.
- senderista 1y agoMongoDB has come a long way. They acquired a world-class storage engine (WiredTiger) and then they hired some world-class distsys people (e.g. Murat Demirbas). They might still be hamstrung by early design and API choices but from what I can tell (never used it in anger) the implementation is pretty solid.
- computerfan494 1y agoMongoDB is a very good database, and these days at scale I am significantly more confident in its correctness guarantees than any of the half-baked Postgres horizontal scaling solutions. I have run both databases at seven figure a month spend scale, and I would not choose off-the-shelf Postgres for this task again.
