Homebrew removes MongoDB from core formulas

Would love to see an overview of companies that fell into the mongoDB trap and have / are migrating to another DB store.

Should I sell MongoDB? In around $29 last year and have seen 450% return... The concern was always it becomes next X

With MongoDB's license there is another reason to migrate away from it. I migrated an app from MongoDB to postgres. I ended up just using a varchar to store the IDs. The Mongo style IDs are in addition to an integer primary key, so joins happen with integers, but every time a user is shown the IDs, in the URLs, it's a BSON ID. It hasn't caused any issues, performance or otherwise, but there are thousands rather than millions of records. It's because of Django, not postgres, that I decided to use varchars to store the IDs rather than bytes or integers. Django is flexible but there are always tradeoffs from going outside the framework. Finally, and this is my favorite thing about how I went about it: all BSON ids have the column name of "id" and all integer primary keys have the column name of "pk", whether or not they have a BSON ID (through tables don't need their IDs exposed to the API).

Over the last few Months we’ve switched over to amazons document db just to have a managed service. We don’t regret it.
