It is definitely a nice, and flexible option.. it truly depends on what your needs are... If you're often updating parts of a document, MongoDB or RethinkDB may be better options. If you want integration where a lot of parts are SQL with some document ability, PostgreSQL + V8 is pretty compelling. Also, something like Cassandra may suit your needs better if you want a better and more predictable growth curve.

There's no holy grail of data storage... ElasticSearch is really nice, and if it fits your needs, more power to you.
