Reviewer scorecard
“Atlas is excellent — search, vector, triggers, and serverless functions. The aggregation pipeline is powerful once you learn it.”
“Observable Framework for data apps is excellent. Static site generation from data notebooks is the right approach.”
“Document databases create more problems than they solve for most apps. Start with Postgres, add MongoDB only if you truly need it.”
“Observable Framework is the sleeper hit — build data dashboards as static sites with SQL and JavaScript.”
“Atlas Vector Search positions MongoDB well for AI applications. Their platform play is smart.”
“The best platform for creating interactive data visualizations. D3 integration and the reactive model are powerful.”
