Most people I know (including me) that used MongoDB in their companies for sometime, already carried a lot of regrets after 6 months. I think the community were not so excited about forking or doing anything with it, when there are better battle-tested solutions I believe it takes an organization a huge inertia to be stuck with it, possibly if you managed to grow your company really quickly. But most projects I've seen that used mongoDB ended up being rewritten/thrown away I find it astonishing when I see how much mongoDB has managed to grow its revenues, now its like $2B trailing when literally nobody needs it RDBMS's can be scaled to "planetary" scale and once you throw in a few other noSQL DBs to fill in other gaps (like Redis), you literally will never need to pay a license MongoDB's success is probably a similar case to Oracle, there are many OSS alternatives but some old businesses have the foundation of its business on that db and moving out would have a huge cost, so they accept shredding millions to software that OSS have even better alternatives |
