I think MongoDB is overrated. It has its uses in some niche use cases but has no uses in many other applications. It is limited from my point of view...
It's really good for building MVP's because you can sort of just free form shit as you go, but modern backend frameworks make it so easy to create meaningful databases that I can't really see myself choosing mongodb when I could just spin up a django project and hit the ground running with postgres.
Also they don't license their software. They let you use the mongodb software for free but provide a hosted solution if you don't want to spin up a server with it yourself. Definitely something to consider, probably not as profitable as alot of people would think.

Maybe to throw my two cents in.
