Coinbase has had it's share of hiccups and software fails as well. Are they still on MongoDB?

On the scale of things that concern me getting your $5 million US bank account seized by the US Government ranks above software reliability issues with Mongo DB.

Is there something wrong with MongoDB that I don't know about? Is it not suitable for Coinbase's business?

So I don't have a horse in this race. I'm PostgreSQL-or-MariaDB kinda guy. Just trying to understand what's wrong wtih MongoDB. I agree I see a bunch of complaints in that HN thread, but I also see this:

http://www.mongodb.org/about/production-deployments/

There some heavy-weight companies on that list using MongoDB. eBay, SAP, stripe.
