Hi Lars, I used the mongo ruby driver for my experiments. A colleague recommended Mongoid for Rails mongodb usaged. It supports some pretty syntactic sugar for chaining criteria and named scopes. No experience yet with using MongoDB on a customer project. Because it's very young, the implementation for full text search with MongoDB is immature. As pretty much all of our customer projects require heavy use of sphinx / search this might be a reason to hold off for now. There is a MongoSphinx gem, but the use of XML to transfer data just feels dirty. ;-)

What kind of “frontend” do you use for this application? I’m interested in trying out MongoDB myself in a Rails project, but worried it might take some time getting used to. Any experiences starting a project with MongoDB vs. Mysql/ActiveRecord?

Thanks for the write-up! Looking forward to more interesting posts about Mongo :)
