Is Mongodb Too Expensive

Is mongoDB expensive to host? Yes, it’s expensive – both in terms of AWS resources and operational overhead. Any database system is a pet that requires regular care and feeding, even more so when you need it to be highly available and redundant.

Why is MongoDB hated?

MongoDB uses lot of RAM, so choose wisely. And in certain cases it’s slow compared to other No-SQL system. Now there will be no standards across your projects, because there is no structure to data and all projects will be using different No-SQL db that is suitable for its need.

Why is NoSQL cheaper?

Since they require a single server to host the entire database, in order to scale, you need to buy a bigger, more expensive server. Scaling a NoSQL database is much cheaper, compared to a relational database, because you can add capacity by scaling horizontally over cheap, commodity servers.
