The document is an introduction to MongoDB, an open-source, document-oriented database system developed by 10gen, which allows for the storage of structured data in JSON-like documents. It discusses its key features, use cases, schema design, and topics like replication, sharding, and the comparison between map/reduce and aggregation frameworks. The presentation concludes with a Q&A section for further inquiries.

What’s MongoDB?
„MongoDB (from "humongous") is an open source
document-oriented database system developed and
supported by 10gen. It is part of the NoSQL family of
database systems. Instead of storing data in tables as is
done in a "classical" relational database, MongoDB
stores structured data as JSON-like documents with
dynamic schemas (MongoDB calls the format BSON),
making the integration of data in certain types of
applications easier and faster. “
(Wikipedia)
