Why you should never, ever, ever use MongoDB

MongoDB is evil. It…

… loses data … in fact, for a long time, ignored errors by default and assumed every single write succeeded no matter what (which on 32-bits systems led to losing all data silently after some 3GB, due to MongoDB limitations) … is slow, even at its advertised usecases, and claims to the contrary are completely lacking evidence … forces the poor habit of implicit schemas in nearly all usecases … has locking issues … has an atrociously poor response time to security issues - it took them two years to patch an insecure default configuration that would expose all of your data to anybody who asked, without authentication … is not ACID-compliant … is a nightmare to scale and maintain … isn’t even exclusive in its offering of JSON-based storage; PostgreSQL does it too, and other (better) document stores like CouchDB have been around for a long time
