I tried my best to describe both what we gained and what we lost after the transition. At the end of the day, MongoDB (and other NoSQL solutions) are different tools for different jobs. Obviously it takes investment to master a new tool and we almost aborted the migration in two different occasions simply because we didn't know enough about maximizing MongoDB performance. Now that the dust has settled and with all things considered, I am glad we didn't.
