is there anybody who test this django mongodb engine ?

[MahdiX]

Hi folks
I just start learning and using mongoDB , it's looks like a really nice replacement for mysql.
I was searching for 3rd party for using Mongo with django and I ends up with django-mongodb-engine.
Has anybody test it?
I'm looking for personal experiences

If you're judging relational databases by comparing to MySQL, you're really not doing a fair comparison. MySQL is a *really* bad database. Before you write off relational databases, you might want to do some research into PostgreSQL.

Also, before you commit to MongoDB, might I suggest you look into the many people with horror stories and cautionary tales about MongoDB:

http://www.quora.com/How-much-credibility-does-the-post-Dont-use-MongoDB-have

http://cryto.net/~joepie91/blog/2015/07/19/why-you-should-never-ever-ever-use-mongodb/

... and the people who have demonstrated that PostgreSQL is faster than MongoDB *at the types of problems that MongoDB is supposed to solve*.

I haven't used it myself, but from what I'm aware of, if you *must* use MongoDB, it's the best Django option out there at present.
