I've seen Mongo the company making technical decisions which I find reckless (like no write confirmation by default). Since it was not once and not twice, I decided that I just want to stay away from them.

Do I want smaller scale JSON DB? Postgres fits perfectly. And it works until surprisingly large scales, unless your update load is massive.

Do I need a truly distributed HA DB with JSON support? Well, Cassandra used to be fine.
