Luckily, that doesn’t happen too often." If your web application sell digital subscription service and in the middle of express paypal checkout, the server shut down. It means the transaction is not completed. For this case, it means we need to manually update the subscription. However, as this rarely happen and there is a way to work around it. For your case, if you have invoice and billing, do you think it is good idea to use MongoDB? or just use Mysql for invoice and billing, the rest use MongoDB?
