Summary

MongoDB performed well in various high-performance benchmarking tests against NoSQL systems like Cassandra, Couchbase, and key value stores. In maximum performance configurations with possible data loss, MongoDB provided 20% greater throughput than Cassandra and 50% greater throughput than Couchbase. In configurations with no possible data loss, MongoDB outperformed Cassandra by more than 25x in terms of throughput and had latency that was over 95% better than Cassandra. MongoDB's performance was also superior to Couchbase in high-performance configurations with minimal possible data loss. The results suggest that MongoDB can be a suitable choice for applications requiring high performance and minimal data loss, but organizations should carefully test their specific requirements before making a decision.
