MongoDB is huge though for all the wrong reasons, businesses think that just because it's JS, they can just have frontend devs - sorry, they are "fullstack" now - doing DBA work.

I worked as one of two NoSQL DBAs for a Fortune 50 finance company, and there is a ton of CV-driven development going on giving NoSQL a bad name. Most use cases don't need NoSQL. And for those which do, NoSQL is almost always harder to implement than simple SQL based RDBMSs.

Jumping in this, bingo. JavaScript only shops scare the fuck out of me.
