		jeltz on Oct 4, 2013 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: MongoDB Raises $150 Million at $1.2 Billion Valuat... MongoDB has quite poor in-memory performance due to its simplistic locking strategy. I personally think MongoDB only had the best marketing of any NoSQL database.

MongoDB is also incredibly ease to install, use, manage and understand.

But hey none of those are important to developers. We are just stupid sheep controlled by marketing.
