I enjoy the hell out of reading that report as an outsider, and I personally would be a repeat customer, but I can see how a company might not love the writeup.

Sure, but to me that just looks like they have no faith in the supposed quality of their product. If they really fixed MongoDB there's nothing to fear. Aphyr is harsh, but fair.

Are they doing well? Seems like the hype has kind of died down.

The hype died but the tool is almost mature now and quite useful, plenty of paying enterprise customers who fly low but have fat wallets. I’d give it a few more years to be a primary data store, but it’ll do if you want a horizontally scalable, capable and performant document database to give some breathing room to the primary SQL cluster.

For now, there are way too many critical issues found late in the release cycle.

Yep, Jepsen has not only confirmed but later reconfirmed that MongoDB has for many years been on par with other NoSQL databases when it comes to transaction guarantees and data consistency.

Er...no....

Again, I can see why they would not be interested in engaging again. You can think that it's because they're afraid, but they also may have just really disliked the service they paid for.
