Excuse me? I do enterprise apps, along with most of the developers I know. We run like 100 transactions per second and can easily survive hours of planned downtime.

It's 2025, computers are really fast. I barely need a database, but ACID makes transaction processing so much easier.

MongoDB has had ACID transactions for many years. I encourage folks to at least read up on the topic they are claiming to have expertise in

They failed every single Jepsen test, including the last one [0]

granted, the failures were pretty minor, especially compared to previous reports (like the first one [1], that was a fun read), but they still had bad defaults back then (and maybe still do)

I would not trust anything MongoDB says without independent confirmation

Reputation matters. If someone comes to market with a shoddy product or missing features/slideware then it's a self created problem that people don't check the product release logs every week for the next few years waiting for them rectifying it. And even once there is an announcement people are perfectly entitled to have scepticism that it isn't a smoke and mirrors feature and not spend hours doing their own due diligence. Again self created problem.

Last I checked they still didn't even implement pagination on their blog properly

100? I had a customer with 10k upserts incl merge logic for the upserts while serving 100k concurrent reads. Good luck doing that with a SQL database trying to check constraints across 10 tables. This is what Nosql databases are optimized for... There's some stand-out examples of companies scaling even mysql to ridiculous sizes. But generally speaking, relational databases don't do a great job at synchronous/transactional replication and scalability. That's the trade off you make for having schema checks and whatnot in place.

I guess I didn't make myself clear. The number was supposed to be trivially low. The point was that "high performance" is like the least important factor when deciding on technology in my context.
