  MongoDB is a nice shortcut for when you don’t want to deal with a schema at the beginning but that’s all it is - a shortcut.

  Turns out schemas exist for a reason and will save your ass later down the line, and I’m not even talking about Mongo’s dubious transactionality, atomicity or lack of good tooling.

  I'm pretty skeptical about this. It seems they kinda advertise it as traditional OLTP database.

  I say go for it, junior devs. Stable, mature, scalable relational databases will still be here when you’re tired of recovering corrupt databases and implementing second-rate locking and transactions in application code.
