Awesome work guys, congratulations!

Anyone who wants to leverage MongoDB without the massive headache of learning all the intricacies yourself (in addition to actually running and developing your startup) should check them out, we've been using them for a long time for all of our player data like leaderboards and user created levels, can't recommend them enough.

Off topic, but I some how knew I'd find a comment from you here. It sounds like you're still happy with their service. That's good to hear. :)

Yup, still loving them. The gigabytes keep coming in too, our main database there is ~20 gig now.

Not saying MongoHQ isn't a nice service, but Mongo is about the easiest database I've ever used...

Using it is not the hard bit. The hard bit is when it falls over, they know what they're doing and can fix it before I even find the right terms to google.

We have 6 servers, a bunch of software spread across them, an immense volume of data arriving every second of every day, and a couple thousand users to take care of. It is really nice to "just use" MongoDB and enjoy all the benefits of it without adding their job to my own.
