What is MongoDB good for?

MongoDB is a popular NoSQL database that powers modern applications that are used for storing product catalogs, processing payments, analyzing IoT data, video games, and many other use cases. It is a distributed database that can scale horizontally and geographically to meet the stringent needs of most modern enterprise applications.

Why is MongoDB so popular?

In recent years, MongoDB has gained popularity due to several key capabilities that are essential for modern application development, including: High Availability: MongoDB allows you to create replica sets (multiple copies) that are distributed across nodes and uses built-in replication to keep these copies consistent. As a result, your data is highly available in cases of hardware and site failures. Horizontal scalability: MongoDB uses sharding to split data across multiple servers, allowing these databases to scale incrementally to a large number of nodes. Flexibility: Unlike relational databases that have a predefined schema, MongoDB is a document database with no fixed schema. As a result, it is very flexible in meeting new and emerging application and business requirements. Powerful Query Language: With a query language that supports joins, sorting, filtering, aggregating, full text search, and more, developers are able to write complex and very fast queries to meet application requirements. Developer Friendly: Document databases such as MongoDB are simpler for developers to learn and start using for new application development.
