After 6 intensive months with MongoDB to build my MVP, I just love it.

For sure, it's not perfect. Lack of joins is a shame, but can be quite easily solved outside the database.

But the ease of use and speed of development are such a HUGE advantage. Not having to break my schema into normalized relations and define it in the DB saved me literally days of work.

I can imagine a case that 1 year from now, when our product will be more mature, we'll be leaving mongodb for another SQL or No-SQL database. Doesn't matter. The benefit that mongodb gives us now justifies the costs the may be incurred years from now.

Totally agree, and not just because of your last name.
