Ask HN: Does anyone have success stories with MongoDB?

I have helped to several companies working with MongoDB and now they have deployed more instances in other "old" services to speed up the performance.

I Think that MongoDB needs some maintenance and attention like other databases. If you use MongoDB because your stack is based in javascript and you think that it could be easy because support javascript based commands but you don't have any background as dba, you will fail like this guys: https://dzone.com/articles/why-we-moved-from-nosql-mongodb-t...

I have experienced issues too, but nothing catastrophyc because I have studied so much this technology and I feel confortable

At my current company we're using it for several purposes, caching layer, documented oriented data, disparate data sets that have frequent change. In our experience as well as many others the MongoDB issues of the past have largely been fixed. I'm hopeful that people's perceptions of MongoDB will change as the product continues to address the needs of the development community while continuing to build a strong database product.
