I am building a one click game website/mobile app, and I am debating between using MySQL and MongoDB for the backend.
The way I have been exploring it is with a NodeJS/Express/Angular/Passport/MongoDB stack - I have also implemented Socket.io.
I have gotten to the point where I am sending data from the flash game to the server (NodeJS).
The only data that needs to be sent is basic user information, the players score at the end of each game, and some x,y positions for each players game (for anti-cheating). It seems like MySQL would work fine, but as I am already using MongoDB - are there any major drawbacks to continuing to work with MongoDB on this project?
