Had a couple branches that were close to production ready for impressions/views, but in testing our production environment, stumbled into this issue:
In a nutshell, in our virtual server environment, adding data > RAM caused Mongo (actually, the entire server) to become unresponsive. Had some back and forth with a few folks on this, but have yet to see a solution.
I can envision Mongo solving a lot of problems for us. The presentation that goes with this shot outlines some of them:
