mongodb is the best database in the whole wide world at the moment. I encourage everyone to jump in mongodb for agile web scale development with full big data capability.

I truely can not tell if this comment is meant to be flamebait, buzzword-laden sarcasm, or NoSQL fanboy-ist.

Obvious sarcasm (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2F-DItXtZs)

Well, I think I must disagree with you in here.

I'm sure that it is a viable choice for some use cases, it's just that I didn't found a use case for it yet.

Being able to choose from PostgreSQL, Redis, Cassandra, heck, even ElasticSearch made me always choose one of those over MongoDB, at least for the problems which I had been trying to solve.

By the way if you are looking for all the above functionality provided by all the DBMS you mentioned in a single DBMS instance, you can check out amisaserver.com. Polygot persistence is just another fad.

Don't forget RethinkDB. Very good general-purpose document store that supports joins and has an excellent query language (no DB write lock either!)

Oh? How is it better than rethinkdb (at the same job)?
