MongoDB is a great database and has a really good set of client tools. It has a learning curve and it has not been without problems but I have loved it at a past startup and would absolutely use it again. If you try it out and find you like it, I'd really suggest getting to one of their MongoDB seminar days. They tend to have good speakers and for sure you'll learn something new about databases and MongoDB.
- tannerj 12y agoYea, from the good stuff I've read about MongoDB I really want to like it. There's just been so much more negative that I've read.
- digsmahler 12y agoEvery choice you make in software has pros/cons. This is true of all database technologies as well. You can probably solve your problem using any of the choices before you. If you decide to use something new (e.g. MongoDB, Riak, whatever) first make sure it lines up with your requirements then see how it goes. Always keep backups. In the worst case, you'll restore and migrate to something else. But that's kind of what we do as an industry anyways.
