Comment on Ask HN: How do you determine which database(s) to use for a project?

Comments

I'd say go for the one you know how to use, to build faster. Keep in mind that you might have to change later for some reason, so build high level enough.

When you have cache/scalability problems, then think about changing. It won't happen in 99% of the times :).

I usually go for Mongo, simply because I don't have to change from my code to SQL, which saves time.
