" summary

Argues that running self‑hosted NoSQL is a bad bet and urges managed cloud services instead, citing an exposed MongoDB dataset affecting 66 million users and millions of unprotected instances; explains concrete tradeoffs — JSON document storage for denormalized reads, scaling by adding nodes, CAP choices that force consistency vs availability decisions — and gives tool-specific guidance (MongoDB, Redis, Neo4j, Cassandra) and cloud options like Azure CosmosDB and DynamoDB with criteria: security, latency, availability, global distribution, and TCO.
