So we are in agreeance then. MongoDB IS durable but it will be slower doing so. Hardly a surprise there. And still have to disagree about the joins but hey agree to disagree.
As for MongoDB performance well making a blanket statement is pretty silly. On a previous project I had queries that were upwards of 40x faster in MongoDB than MySQL. Why ? Because MongoDB allows the ability to embed documents within other documents to the point where I could make a single query with zero joins to fetch 20 entities worth of data.
Every database is optimal for different use cases.
