		mmcclellan on March 22, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Ask HN: When is MongoDB the Right Tool for the Job... Hey not really answering your question, but since it sounds like you're heading for a "javascript all the way down" approach, I thought I'd suggest the mean stack (http://mean.io). Digital Ocean offers a one-click mean install (https://www.digitalocean.com/company/blog/announcing-mean-on...) that could be hosted for $5 or $10 as a showcase. But for an answer, I'd say that MongoDB seems to make for rapid MVPs.

it feels to me like "it makes rapid mvp's", because that's what everybody uses so all the rapid mvp's you hear about are mongo.

anyway, it's important that he builds his own so he understands how the build tools work.
