> Okay, but numerous people have experienced data loss using MongoDB. You can spend 10 minutes on Twitter and find someone talking about it.

Never said people didn't.

> "After stabilizing the setup"? So basically you worked around MongoDB's stability problems instead of choosing a solution that didn't have stability problems?

No, I haven't worked around the limitations, after tweaking heap sizes, machine sizes and disk speeds the setup was very stable.

> Sure, but there are other solutions that can do this without MongoDB's issues (i.e. Cassandra).

Again, I DO NOT disagree, there are other solutions and today we are running a completely different setup to replace the same component.

> Sure, you can build something stable on sand, but it's going to be a lot harder than just building on a solid foundation.

I'm trying to ignore the snarky/attacking nature of your comment. Not sure if this is addressable.
