Posted by: Arun Gupta on October 21, 2015

MongoDB is one of the most popular NoSQL databases. Its easy to start, has good documentation, works well with a few nodes. But it starts to fall apart as the number of users increase or more nodes are added.

Do you keep struggling with MongoDB? Thought about Couchbase over MongoDB? But don’t know where to start.

Why are companies switching from MongoDB to Couchbase?

  1. MongoDB is hard to scale from a single replica set to a fully sharded environment
  2. MongoDB’s performance rapidly degrades with increasing users
  3. MongoDB is significantly susceptible to data loss under failure
  4. MongoDB requires a third-party cache to help it perform
  5. When deployed in multiple geographies, MongoDB can’t perform all writes locally
  6. MongoDB lacks a mobile solution
  7. MongoDB is time-consuming to manage and maintain
