Zero percent chance I will ever trust my critical data to a mongo-backed service...

Mongodb used to suck. We use it at work for critical systems, it’s been rock solid for 3+ years.

You can always use FerretDB instead.

Isn't Mongo source available too? So it sort of seems to contradict the mission of this organization to use it.

My first inclination too tbh.

And then I saw Npm references and thought “in JavaScript?!” But at least it’s typescript.

You lose JS but at least you get to keep the supply chain risks.

why? since WiredTiger is the default storage engine it works

Someone else also shared a similar experience, so it seems true that we should avoid store critical data in mongodb
