Most companies that adopted MongoDB at peak NoSQL either failed or were forced to switch to a better option (NoSQL or otherwise): that was a steaming pile of crap that couldn’t be trusted with data. The people behind it were concerned with marketing and going viral and succeeded at just that, it’s only recently that the money and time has been put into making the product itself actually any good.


Then perhaps we really are an outlier. That'd be nice: fewer people than I thought toiling under the yoke of a crappy database.

The post-IPO success of Mongodb Inc, and Amazon's recent roll out of their own compatible hosted solution makes me suspect not, though.


Perhaps I was a little too optimistic ;)
