MongoDB is a document database with the scalability and flexibility that you want with the querying and indexing that you need

Classified as a NoSQL database program, MongoDB uses JSON-like documents with optional schemas. MongoDB is developed by MongoDB Inc. and licensed under the Server Side Public License (SSPL).

Main features

  • Ad-hoc queries

    • MongoDB supports field, range query, and regular-expression searches.

  • Indexing

    • Fields in a MongoDB document can be indexed with primary and secondary indices or index.

  • Replication

    • MongoDB provides high availability with replica sets.

  • Load balancing

    • MongoDB scales horizontally using sharding.

  • File storage

    • MongoDB can be used as a file system, called GridFS, with load balancing and data replication features over multiple machines for storing files.

  • Aggregation

    • MongoDB provides three ways to perform aggregation: the aggregation pipeline, the map-reduce function, and single-purpose aggregation methods.

    • Map-reduce can be used for batch processing of data and aggregation operations.

  • Server-side JavaScript execution

    • JavaScript can be used in queries, aggregation functions (such as MapReduce), and sent directly to the database to be executed.

  • Capped collections

    • MongoDB supports fixed-size collections called capped collections. This type of collection maintains insertion order and, once the specified size has been reached, behaves like a circular queue.

Replication in MongoDB

replica set is a group of mongod instances that maintain the same data set. A replica set contains several data bearing nodes and optionally one arbiter node.
