The choice of MongoDB as the database.

[Manoj Waikar]

Hi,

Could you please share your rationale behind using MongoDB as the database?
Did you consider another NoSQL alternative (like CouchDB)?

If you have looked into CouchDB it'll be interesting to know the pros and cons of both and your reason for choosing Mongo over Couch (or other NoSQL alternatives).

Thanks,
Manoj.

I liked the look of the Clojure API for MongoDB (congomongo). I'd
been meaning to try MongoDB for awhile as well, and thought it would
be a good learning experience. I am sure CouchDB would have suited
our needs fine.
