This is the _worst_ reason to use Mongo.
If you are doing a hackathon or just prototyping and need persistence, use pickle. Or store JSON to a text file. Who cares what the solution is. It should:
a) Be built into the standard library.
b) Not require bringing up another service to work.

- nestlequ1k 14y agoThat's the point. It's actually easier to use MongoDB than to store JSON in a text file. And things move faster, and you still have the dream that you can scale it up (even if 99% of the time it doesnt happen).
