Interesting topic. I just started exploring mongodb with my new project. I have been using SQL previously.

What's most amazing about mongodb in my experience is how fluid it is like previously mentioned. I think this is what makes it much more scalable in comparison to SQL. However, joins and data validation are an obvious issue.

I am looking for performance and so, wouldn't mind personally validating the data with an api. Therefore, mongodb is my goto db especially for the fact that my project is a start-up and the data is highly likely to change overtime.
