They offer a deeply discounted option for startups and once you have lock-in (ie. running sharded, basically) and become dependent on the support, they increase the cost by 10x.

- nasalgoat 13y agoUnlike something like Oracle that has been around for decades, at this point the admins I have are probably some of the most experienced MongoDB admins there are. I, myself, have given several talks at MongoDB groups and without exception have been the most expert user in attendance. The only people who know more about MongoDB at this point work for 10gen.
