Gerald, why so much hate for Mongo DB? You don’t understand SCALE!

Yes, I like boring relational databases. I love SQL, SQLite. Except it’s Oracle owned.

Before anything else, once Mongo DB comes up — the first thing that comes to my mind is data integrity as it should be. Mongo DB as we all know is a NoSQL database that has gained popularity over the years. Ah, partly because it’s being used in maybe — every single Node JS beginner tutorial on the internet? Maybe that, or because in standard industries such as banking/finance, education, we tend to lean towards structured data which Mongo DB is a train-wreck for such use cases.
