Yep. I am working on a Mongo system, started right about when Mongo was peak hype. This application should be using a relational database, but no resume padding for the original developer, and a ton of tech debt and a crappy database for me to work with.

Well we effectively have foreign keys between tables / collections. Just none of the benefits.
