Fundamentals of MongoDB

Data today is growing at an alarming rate. A NoSQL database provides a mechanism for storage and retrieval of data that is modeled in means other than the tabular relations used in relational databases. Organizations are increasingly adopting NoSQL databases in response to the complexity and limitations of traditional relational databases. The reason is simple: NoSQL databases are more scalable, can achieve better performance, and offer a more cost-effective way of developing software. And one of the most popular NoSQL databases used by companies for developing their modern applications is MongoDB as it allows users to maintain the benefits of relational databases while incorporating innovations of NoSQL databases.

MongoDB is one of the most popular NoSQL databases built for modern applications. It follows a document based approach which allows for a flexible database schema. It’s powerful, yet simple, querying language can handle a wide range of requirements from full-text search and geospatial search to indexing and aggregation. Not to mention its capability to replicate and shard the data across a large cluster of computers so that working with big data is not a hassle any more!
