It's more that nosql makes sense of you have very specific performance characteristics and can accept very specific constraints.

Alternatively, you want to use a document db because you don't understand that delaying implementing schema integrity or implementing it yourself in the application layer instead of having it baked into your database will be more complex and slow you down in the long run. RDBMS isn't slower than a generic document DB.
