The document provides an overview of MongoDB as a NoSQL, document-oriented database that offers flexibility, scalability, and simple administration compared to traditional relational databases. Key features highlighted include the ability to manage data in hierarchical relationships, automatic data partitioning for scaling, and broad compatibility across operating systems and programming languages. It also mentions available learning resources and encourages further exploration of MongoDB.

the points: being non-relational, distributed, open-source
and horizontally scalable."

MongoDB is a flexible and a scalable document oriented
database that supports most of the useful features
relational databases have.

The document concept is more flexible comparing with
the row concept we all know from relational databases.
●
The document model allows us to represent hierarchical
relationships using a single record.
{"fitstname":"dave","lastname":"levy","children":
{
{"firstname":"dan","lastname":"levy"},
{"firstname":"tal","lastname":"levy"}} }

Document Oriented

8. ●
The documents are grouped into collections. Each
collection is kind of a table. Each and every database
includes collections. Each collection include documents.
●
The documents each collection holds don't need to
follow a specific schema.

Document Oriented

9. ●
When the amount of data grows there is a need in
scaling up (getting a stronger hardware) our data store
or scaling out (partition the data across several
computers).
●
The MongoDB database allows us to split up the data
across multiple servers. MongoDB handles most of this
process automatically.

Database Scaling

10. ●
Unlike many other databases that use heavy protocols
such as HTTP/REST, the MongoDB database uses a
binary wire protocol as its primary mode of interaction with
the server.
●
MongoDB was developed in C++ in order to achieve better
performance.
●
In order to improve the performance many of the relational
databases popular capabilities were taken away.

11. ●
MongoDB administration was simplified as much as
possible.
●
The default configuration fits the common scenario. The
learning curve is very simple.
●
In most cases the developer can handle the
administration tasks on his own.

12. ●
MongoDB is available for the following operating
systems: Windows, MacOS, Linux and Solaris.
●
Drivers for writing code that interacts with MongoDB are
available for nearly every programming language,
including Java, PHP, JavaScript and .NET.
