Prospect of Introducing a New Solution - MongoDB

Abstract

There are many awesome features of MongoDB that have made MongoDB so perspective. Document-oriented databases share a lot in common with relational databases. Therefore, rather than tiptoeing around it, lets simply state that MongoDB should be seen as a direct alternative to relational databases. Where one might see Lucene as enhancing a relational database with full text indexing, or Redis as a persistent key-value store, MongoDB is a central repository for our data.

I didnt call MongoDB a replacement for relational databases, but rather an alternative. Its a tool that can do what a lot of other tools can do. Some of it MongoDB does better, some of it MongoDB does worse. MongoDB might fit into your existing system. There are enough new and competing storage technologies that its easy to get overwhelmed by all of the choices.
