A lot of MongoDB users who wouldn't be considered a "joke" https://www.mongodb.com/who-uses-mongodb

Rather than listen to unqualified nonsense, they run tests. And gather facts to guide technology decisions. and yes, I work for MongoDB - just before anyone starts whining about disclosure You're welcome

Hi Have you tried using MongoDB Atlas for your Mongo database? It's an on-demand, fully managed database service that you can provision on Azure, AWS, or GCP (so no lock in to any 1 cloud provider) https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas

It includes a free tier for experimentation and evaluation (currently only available on AWS)

And as this is real MongoDB, rather than a Cosmos shim of the APIs, all the features of MongoDB actually work....

Disclosure: I work at MongoDB

it was the reference to me as "You're a prime example that this new-age bullshit works and that's what's worrying". The same statements were leveled at anyone from mysql 10-15 years ago. I'm glad mysql works well for your use-case

Re:Dear MongoDB users, we welcome you in Azure DocumentDB on Friday February 17, 2017 @07:57AM (#13667936)
When users have evaluated DocumentDB against MongoDB, they see major shortcomings in Microsoft's offering:

"As we were developing our new financial benchmarking service last year, we evaluated Microsoft’s Azure DocumentDB, but MongoDB offered much richer query and indexing functionality"
