I personally really like using Mongo for my side projects. Most of the time my side projects are just little utility things like link shorteners, paste bins etc. and I find it really easy to just make a basic schema and use something like mongoose to do all the queries for me. SQL is nice when i’m doing things that require a relational model, but in node.js I find it takes a lot more setup than mongo.
