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.
