MongoDB shares jump more than 30% in $192M IPO

ach, the interminable hatred of mongodb is an anthropological artifact worthy of study.

It's the only truly working example of a horizontally scalable arbitrary document storage and retrieval system with indexing on any element. It is a much more general tool then an RDBS, and should never be used when an RDBS would do the job.

However, it's really good at collecting searchable, arbitrary schemaless data in real time. The newest versions do what they're supposed to do rather well, it's a tool like any other tool.

That said, the company is guilty of overhyping for sure, and I wouldn't invest in the stock on a rational basis.

The hate comes exactly from that. The "hipster" just use it for everything. Try reading some "modern" webdev tutorial without seeing it used wrongly.

Only? Many of the early MongoDB employees came from MarkLogic. Several have returned too.

Well you guys must have a pretty lame marketing department because I've been using noSql for the better part of a decade and I've never heard of you.

A quick look at your web page tells me why. You have no open source or free version that I can download and kick the tires of.
