MongoDB

Document-oriented NoSQL database

MongoDB stores data as flexible, JSON-like documents instead of rigid tables — a good fit for rapidly evolving schemas and read-heavy apps. I've paired it with Mongoose across several client projects.

Key concepts

▸Collections & documents (BSON) instead of tables & rows
▸Schema design for embedding vs. referencing
▸Aggregation pipelines
▸Indexing for query performance
