Curious why you picked mongodb?
f
The type of data we are storing aligned well to document stores - and since we are rapidly iterating, the nosql gives us more flexibility to do updates without needing to do sql alters. We did write the code in a way where we can change the back end db - and we have plans to support other dbs.

Make a lot of sense to me, one alternative is PostgreSQL in my mind
f
yes, that will probably be the first one we add

AWS dynamodb support would be fantastic for us
