I have been building a few backends with Node.js recently, and always used MongoDB. I have used MySQL before, but mostly because I had no idea what I was doing and that is the only DB I had every heard of.
I know that SQL databases are still very widely used, so there must be something I am missing, but I feel like MongoDB is just always the better choice for JS based programs, since the JSON objects are way easier to work with.
Are SQL and Relational databases that much better outside of big data applications? Should i try to implement them more. Querying the databases is much easier with MongoDB tbh
