Reviewer scorecard

Builder
80/100 · ship

Sub-second queries on billions of rows. The compression and query performance are genuinely impressive.

80/100 · ship

Atlas is excellent — search, vector, triggers, and serverless functions. The aggregation pipeline is powerful once you learn it.

Skeptic
80/100 · ship

For real-time analytics at scale, nothing beats ClickHouse on price-performance. The open-source version is production-ready.

45/100 · skip

Document databases create more problems than they solve for most apps. Start with Postgres, add MongoDB only if you truly need it.

Futurist
80/100 · ship

Real-time analytics is becoming standard. ClickHouse is the engine powering the observability and analytics revolution.

80/100 · ship

Atlas Vector Search positions MongoDB well for AI applications. Their platform play is smart.
