    The MongoDB Database

  • MongoDB began its life essentially as a JSON database for node.js. Very easy to use for JavaScript developers, it struggled with basic durability until the addition of the WiredTiger storage engine. After many years of preaching that transactions were unnecessary and advocating for extensive data denormalization to compensate, MongoDB capitulated and added transaction support a few years ago.

  • Couchbase

    Couchbase Node.js Client Library (Official)

  • Couchbase was originally developed by merging Membase, a fork of Memcache with on-disk durability, with CouchDB, a somewhat experimental document database written in Erlang. As such, it has a relatively tortured development history. It has adopted a relatively tortured transaction model as well.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
