Summary

NoSQL and document dbs like MongoDB have made building fast scalable software that is easy to evolve and maintain much easier for a broad class of applications. Embeddable, file-based databases like SQLite have made "shipping" an application requiring a database a no brainer. The database just runs in process so there is no setup or maintenance.
