I recommend reading this 3-part series on Mongo's marketing - it goes into a lot of detail why Mongo "won". https://www.nemil.com/mongo/1.html As a former RethinkDB user (we have migrated to Postgres) I actually don't miss it as much as I would - JSONB in PG does what we need, and the real-time features of RethinkDB never really delivered because of various performance issues in the database itself. |

For me, JSON wasn't the important part. I wanted to have a distributed database, where a single server could disappear completely at any time and my customers would not lose any data.
There are remarkably few solutions that deliver this, though many claim to. Even fewer have been verified with Jepsen. And for all the hoopla about distributed computing using Kubernetes, I find it puzzling that so little emphasis is placed on data integrity.
Changefeeds have worked great for me as well, and I'm still trying to work out what to replace them with.
