Jumpstart your day with an introduction to quickly building apps using the MongoDB ecosystem. We'll begin with a brief introduction to MongoDB, Atlas, and Stitch. Then watch as Prashant attempts to live-code a blogging application that stores and displays comments. Next, he'll put the application on the Internet for anyone to access. Finally, he'll implement a feature to send email notifications whenever someone comments on the blog. All in 40 minutes or less! You'll walk away with the knowledge you need to build your first app using the MongoDB ecosystem!

9. What is MongoDB?
MongoDB is a cross-platform and open-source document-oriented
general purpose database.

10. Tabular (Relational) Data Model
Related data split across multiple records and tables
Document Data Model
Related data contained in a single, rich document
{
"_id" : ObjectId("5ad88534e3632e1a35a58d00"),
"name" : {
"first" : "John",
"last" : "Doe" },
"address" : [
{ "location" : "work",
"address" : {
"street" : "16 Hatfields",
"city" : "London",
"postal_code" : "SE1 8DJ"},
"geo" : { "type" : "Point", "coord" : [
51.5065752,-0.109081]}},
+ {...}
],
"phone" : [
{ "location" : "work",
"number" : "+44-1234567890"},
+ {...}
],
"dob" : ISODate("1977-04-01T05:00:00Z"),
"retirement_fund" : NumberDecimal("1292815.75")
}
MongoDB Stores data in
Documents

11. Database Table

* Proper document schema design yields more entity data per document than found in a relational database row

13. What is MongoDB Atlas?

14. MongoDB Atlas is a fully managed, global cloud
database.

15. Stitch is a serverless platform that makes it easy to
build modern, cross-platform apps on top of MongoDB.
