I am a little surprised at the choice to move to a non-relational database based on the specific issues you identified with MySQL. Did you consider using a better relational database that did not suffer from those weaknesses? I ask because there are many very good RDBMSs that could have addressed those issues without requiring you to completely re-architect your application. Just curious.

Our primary database is currently just under 800GB. The most important thing is there is no single server durability - you must use replication across data centres.

Since posting this, do you have any additional thoughts to share? I am working on a project where we have decided to use MongoDB and I am also looking to use it side by side with a very large MySQL db on another project. Since your post is around 6 months old, I was wondering if you have learned anything new? I know that the MongoDB dev team is very active and has been working on a lot of new features and bug fixes. Great article David.
