You haven't missed much TBH. I think the only case where you'd use it in new projects in DynamoDB if you work with AWS.

Dynamo is not mongo?

No, DocumentDB is Mongo. What I understand the OP parent referred to is the NoSQL hype era, not just Mongo which was probably the most popular one at that time.

They used it at my 1st job, a startup.
They had an ORM which made everything much slower, and the most common operation they did was to add items into lists, which causes the whole document to be resized and requires it to be moved.
It could have been done with 1 sql server, but we needed 4 really heavy mongodb servers instead. And of course our code was buggy so the schema was all over the place.
Somehow the entire Mongo DB era passed me through and I never used it once. I used to use MySQL in the 2000s, and switched to PostgreSQL in the 2010s.
