Overall Satisfaction with MongoDB

We use MongoDB to power our new e-commerce platform. The first feature that we have enabled has been the product catalog search. Thanks to 3.6 change streams we are able to react when a user searches and there are no results. We can even send a text message through Stitch/Twilio integration to send a personal message to the user.
  • MongoDB offers Stitch, which can replace a lot of backend code through its API. It can also integrate your application with a lot of services such as Twilio.
  • Change Streams allow you to create responsive applications.
  • The BI Connector has been redesigned and it has become a lot faster to set up.
  • Stitch is still in Beta. A few features are still not available. I expect those features to be available in 2018 sometime. Example features missing are Change Streams and $text.
  • The ease with which applications can transform data in far greater than before. Developer productivity and happiness has gone up.
  • The integration of applications with third party services has become super easy.
SQL server is ancient, and Couchbase doesn't let you accomplish anything special--it's too basic, especially from a security standpoint.
I have a fever, and there is only one prescription: more MongoDB and Stitch.
If you just need a key-value pair you can use Redis. But, in my opinion, MongoDB can do it all today and will blow your mind in the future.
