       | A pretty solid history. Kinda skipped over the launch of MongoDB
       | Atlas, but this is the only miss in a pretty accurate account.

       | Lots of interesting info, and I really like working with MongoDB.
       | But I am baffled by the claim that "MongoDB is the king." In all
       | the circles I work in, I only hear Mongo dismissed as a joke.
       | Unfortunately the company's dismissiveness of RDBMSes, their
       | hubris in pushing NoSQL, and their blunders over what are
       | extremely poor default settings all combine to make MongoDB
       | something I don't see anyone taking seriously. I use it in a
       | project where it's basically just serving as a big cache, so the
       | reliability and durability of the data is not critical. It's
       | certainly way easier to query than any other document-oriented
       | database, but getting a foothold to use for anything requiring
       | long-term storage would be a major challenge.

         | long in the tooth.
         | 
         | It turns out it takes a decade to build a new database that's
         | half decent and has all the features people want. It's really
         | hard!
         | 
         | Of course there are those databases that are "perfect" from the
         | start and never make mistakes but is anyone talking about them
         | today? Even Postgres gets it wrong sometimes.
         | 
         | In my eyes, as someone who was there for the four years from
         | 2.0 -> 3.0, I can say that the team really did care _a lot_
         | about integrity and data consistency, certainly at least as
         | much as developer productivity.
