It's nice to be able to get up and running and just throw documents into a database without having to specify what that data will look like up front.

I guess that makes sense but do most people who use node.js use mongo in production or just as a scaffolding tool?

Who the heck just uses mongo as a scaffolding tool? I don't know anyone who does that.

what he meant (i think) is use MongoDB in a lean manner - which is to say, try to get something off the ground, and if it takes off, switch to the most appropriate DB then (which might be Mongo).

I think this is the killer use of Mongo IMO.

Yeah, this is exactly what I meant.
