MongoDB is great if what you need is a replicated log or queue. It's what Kafka should have been.


As others have said, you can just use your RDBMS for that now. Mongo is a feature of better products.


Postgres doesn't have a sane and working replication story. (Mysql does, but it's full of legacy warts, of course.)

Mongodb is foolproof and works out of the box.

The other alternative here isn't Mongodb, it's Couchdb, but that isn't an RDBMS.
