Why is anyone using mongo for literally anything


Easy replication. I suppose it's faster than Postgres's JSONB, too.

I would rather not use it, but I see that there are legitimate cases where MongoDB or DynamoDB is a technically appropriate choice.


because it is "web scale"

Whenever anyone writes about mongodb or redis I hear it in that voice.


Right? When they came out, it was all about NoSQL, which then turned out only mean key-value database, whom are plentiful.


This is a nasty ad repositorium datorum argumentation which I cannot tolerate.


I laughed.
