Hint: I'm an ex-Marten maintainer, so the similarity is not accidental ;)

As Op said, not needing to rewrite applications or using the muscle memory from using Mongo is beneficial. I'm not planning to be strict and support only MongoDB API; I will extend it when needed (e.g. to support raw SQL or JSON Path). But I plan to keep shim with compliant API for the above reasons.

MongoDB API has its quirks but is also pretty powerful and widely used.

Oh, so you are, then we can rest assured this will end up being a solid project!

I personally can't stand mongodb, its given me alot of headaches, joined a company and the same week I joined we lost a ton of data and the twat who set it up resigned in the middle of the outage. Got it back online and spend 6m moving to postgresql.

Thanks, that's the goal: to bring the solid and verified approach in Marten to Node.js land. The concept is similar, but the feature set will be different.
