But i think it's true - really easy to set up, no maintainance, rich set of tools and idiotproof enough to prevent unexperienced from doing harm to themselves.

But i think it's true - really easy to set up, no maintainance, rich set of tools and idiotproof enough to prevent unexperienced from doing harm to themselves. And you don't have to know anything about databases to use it. I'd say it really sets a standard for most of startup guys.

All is only true until you need to scale it out.

  Reminds me of benchmarks between Cassandra, HBase and MongoDB[1]. The only thing it "exceeded" at was higher latency. http://www.datastax.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/WP-Benchmarking-Top-NoSQL-Databases.pdf http://www.datastax.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/WP-Benchm...

  mongo scales just fine if you know how to use it. I maintained over a 40 node cluster with 1 billion profiles in it. I believe it scales just fine. Issues is with the developers that don't understand how to use it.

    I'm very happy that it worked well for you. Those with different data access patterns may not be as fortunate.

Not knowing anything about databases is why everyone hates MongoDB. You have people that know nothing about how to store data using mongo...then when it doesn't work they blame mongoDB. Isn't mongoDB's fault you know nothing of which you do.
