MongoDB

MongoDB is an open-source, document-oriented NoSQL database system. It stores data in flexible, JSON-like documents with dynamic schemas, making it easier to store and manage unstructured or semi-structured data. This approach differs from traditional relational databases, which store data in rigid, tabular structures.

Key Features of MongoDB

  • Document-oriented data model: Data is stored in flexible, JSON-like documents with dynamic schemas.

  • Scalability and high performance: MongoDB is designed to scale horizontally across multiple servers for high throughput and availability.

  • High availability and replication: MongoDB supports replication, allowing data to be replicated across multiple servers for high availability and fault tolerance.

  • Rich query language: MongoDB provides a rich query language for querying and filtering data.

  • Indexing and aggregation: MongoDB supports indexing for efficient querying and provides powerful aggregation capabilities for data processing.

  • Sharding for horizontal scaling: MongoDB allows for horizontal scaling by partitioning data across multiple shards (servers).
