As I clicked forward in the slideshow, I kept expecting to find something to disagree with but it never happened. Mostly I nodded to myself.
I have a huge investment in MongoDB at this point, both financially and in equipment - over 200 machines dedicated in various separate clusters - and a pivot to another datastore at this point would be a significant re-engineering effort.
All the people talking about changing databases after the MVP have clearly never had to deal with a typical hockey stick growth profile and having to allocate engineering resources based on need - either making the product better, or wasting time changing your database and losing traction.
Anyway, I'm hoping posts like this can dissuade people from choosing MongoDB for anything destined for high throughput Enterprise-level production environments.
I just wish there was something I could easily put in to replace MongoDB, but none of the available options quite fit the same document store model, but make better use of available resources and provide much better performance.
