About MongoDB

The AI era demands unprecedented adaptability. Traditional software and rigid legacy systems that were designed for static tasks have become roadblocks, causing technical debt, complexity, wasted budgets, and scaling issues. The database, central to software, must evolve beyond rigid structures to handle all data forms, scale seamlessly, react instantly, provide intelligent search, and ensure end-to-end security.

MongoDB was built for change. Our flexible document model adapts instantly, enabling seamless scalability for high-volume workloads and integrated, AI-ready architecture with native vector search and real-time operational queries. MongoDB’s modern data platform includes end-to-end security and deployment freedom across any cloud or on-prem environment. We reduce friction from legacy infrastructures, freeing developers to build impactful AI-driven software. Our expertise in modernization and AI application development ensures efficient execution and accelerates time to market.

Functionality

Pros:

MongoDB is extremely flexible and fast to get started with. It scales well, integrate cleanly with modern clould platforms. I have been using it for years without hassle. Customer support and documentation are solid and community resources are easy to find when issues come up.

Cons:

Flexibility can easily turn into mess if the data model is not designed carefully from the start. Costs on MongoDB can also grow faster than expected as data and traffic scale.

Reasons for choosing MongoDB

MongoDB offered more flexibility for handling data structures and reduced the overhead of schema changes compared to MySQL.

Reasons for switching to MongoDB

I needed more flexibility in the data model and better support for chaning schemas.

Cheap Mongo DB

Built several multi-node clusters for data warehousing for ETL tools. Had a lot of issues early on to get it working. Documentation 2 years ago + was spotty but now its a lot better. Not to mention the software has evolved to include features sorely missing awhile back. We moved away from thsi product as it doesnt allow backups as robust as MSSQL and oracle but its great for certain types of data needs.

Pros:

Can use a free version of it. And does allow clustering of it inclusive.

Cons:

Compass client tool is useless versus other DB software tools. Pretty much all cli based access ot the collections within

Reasons for choosing MongoDB

3rd party software only supported this at the time. We have since moved away from that 3rd party software and this platform.

My experience with MongoDB

I recommend mongodb for all the beginners whoever trying to learn new database. It not only beginner friendly also provide large number of build in function that makes easy to learn everyone. Unlike others nosql databases it store the data as bson format. So, it makes naturally faster the most of common databases.

Pros:

Best part that i like in mongodb was It's speed and large number of build in functions. So i don't need to add each and every time custom function for searching or filter. Also they store the database best cloud platfoms(AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure). that makes my data were are safe. It beginner friendly also.

Cons:

There are not that much i don't dislike about the mongodb.

Reasons for switching to MongoDB

Common reason for it's speed. mongodb more faster the firebase for it's bson format storing. And firegase lacks to provide some common option like logical operators and some other common options.

Very positive. I will likely use MongoDB on every future project of moderate to extreme complexity.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

One of the most difficult parts of software development, especially with complex projects, is keeping the software maintained. As business requirement change, the effort required to make those changes grows over time. MongoDB opened up a whole new world for me. I can make structural changes to my underlying data with ease without too much modification the data access layer. It reduces initial development significantly, and allows my team to pivot to new requirements with unprecedented ease. Because related data is encapsulated, queries are much faster, and our software is extremely performant. Highly recommended.

Cons:

The tooling isn't great. Compass is a decent tool for accessing and lookup, but it lacks polish. It's slow to start up and sometimes difficult to pull up the data I'm seeking

Reasons for switching to MongoDB

First, the switch was experimental. Then, as the benefits unfolded, we knew MongoDB was a keeper.

Mongo db is very easy to learn and is a very powerful tool.It offers high performance and offer good developer experience. It is also convenient to set up replica sets for high availability and for failover scenarios.

Can be memory-intensive, especially with large indexes or working sets. Also, complex relationships are less efficient than in SQL databases.

MongoDB: Flexibility at its Best!

It is extremely adaptive and has a great functionality, the data handling is quite plain and not overloaded with tight constraints. It doesn't compel you to follow specific schema, neither is it causing complexity on you
