Introduction To Mongo DB

MongoDB is an open-source, NoSQL database developed by MongoDB Inc. in 2009. Unlike traditional relational databases that store data in tables and rows, MongoDB stores data in flexible, JSON-like documents. This allows developers to handle unstructured and semi-structured data more efficiently. MongoDB is highly popular for modern web applications, big data, IoT, and real-time analytics, thanks to its scalability, flexibility, and high performance. It is widely used by companies like Adobe, eBay, Uber, and LinkedIn

Key Features of MongoDB 

1. NoSQL Database – Stores data in BSON (Binary JSON) documents  instead of relational tables. 

2. Flexible Schema – Collections don’t require a predefined structure,  making it easy to adapt to changing data. 

3. Scalable – Supports horizontal scaling using sharding across multiple  servers. 

4. High Performance – Optimized for fast read/write operations with  indexing and in-memory processing. 

5. Cross-Platform – Runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and integrates with  cloud platforms. 

6. Document-Oriented – Data is stored in key-value pairs within JSON like objects. 

7. Replication & High Availability – Uses Replica Sets to provide  automatic failover and data redundancy. 

8. Powerful Query Language – Supports rich queries, filtering,  aggregation, and indexing.
