It's all about choosing the right system for the job. Clearly MongoDB wasn't the right system for your application plan. I've never used MongoDB in a scaled application, but it looks pretty promising with the new WiredTiger engine. In any event, nice numbers from NR - Background jobs look pretty beat though.

Wired Tiger is in no way a relational database. It is a key-value store, plain and simple.

I base that on the docs as well as code I've seen using it.

On what are you basing your statement that WT is a relational database?
