Somewhere between SQL and NoSQL
What do you like best about the product?
Free to add or change fields
Fast performance
Compression (starting with WT)
What do you dislike about the product?
w=0, default handling in earlier versions
in earlier versions, the disk usage was quite high (about 10x the actual size)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Storing session data
Analytics
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Store everything in one object, do not use the SQL split into different tables paradigm, because Mongo only in the latest versions has added support for queries with JOIN. ($lookup)
Lifesaver or at least product-saver
What do you like best about the product?
MongoDB is very easy to learn and the BSON format make is super clear to read and interact with.
The most important for us was the sharding feature and the fact we could take advantage of atomic operations.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not a general purpose DB and you need to plan heavily before creating new db schema.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were have a lot of performance problems with our write-heavy application and MongoDB helped us save all those problems. The installation and maintenance was also very straight-forward and we were able to pick it up with ease from the online documentation.
Not a silver bullet, but definitely bronze
What do you like best about the product?
Easiest document database with real querying capabilities with map and reduce built in.
What do you dislike about the product?
Update queries get really slow and database performance starts falling linearly with the size of database
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Workflow management with jobs and task tracking. Product catalog with the evolving schema of products.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It would be wise to design the db in a way that makes optimization of queries or database writes possible. Since it is a nosql document store it is easy to design badly and therefore needs special attention from early on
Most mature open source NoSQL database
What do you like best about the product?
MongoDB is a versatile NoSQL database, that requires limited training to get started. Querying the database doesn't involve writing complex code, but simply sending a JSON filter.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setting up a production system can be rather expensive for small systems. Setup and maintenance can also be rather complicated without paid tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MongoDB has a dynamic schema. This give flexibility to the application, making it possible to easily create backward- and forward compatible versions. The schema does allow the creation of indexes, to increase performance.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
MongoDB can be tricky to setup and maintain. I recommend taking a course and/or using a SAAS product.
MongoDB Atlas - a life savour!
MongoDB Atlas has been fundamental for my company in the last few months. It enabled us to have a painless and affordable MongoDB service, extremely reliable and secure. With MongoDB Atlas you can scale the database according to your needs - it's absolutely fantastic! Try it out - you won't regret it!
The best solutions for pro db
Totally recommend MongoDB Atlas! Very easy to setup fully pro version on MongoDB, with replicas or sharding. Price is optimal vs quality.
Best MongoDB Hosting Provider Available
A few items set MongoDB Atlas apart from the other MongoDB hosting providers:
- Make cluster changes with a few clicks, such as dynamically scaling the cluster when needed (including dynamically changing hardware)
- Per hour pricing
- API
- Sharding support, larger replica sets available
- VPC peering
- Encrypted EBS volumes
Everything as advertised...but beware AWS costs
So, granted, much of this can be attributed to my inexperience with AWS and their billing, but Atlas makes it so easy to setup, perhaps a warning of:
1) both the cost of Atlas service itself;
2) the cost of the AWS servers Atlas needs to run on;
is warranted when calculating the total expected bill.
So, 5 stars for Atlas. Ding on the cost calculator and unexpected high bill from AWS.
Incredibly good
It's very easy to setup.
The price is affordable.
They offer good support.
The only things I miss are:
Manual backup button (to make a backup right now)
Web query interface
No sql Database
What do you like best about the product?
Mongodb does not have primary Key and foreign key concept which makes it better than SQL database.
It has relationship between tables and which can be related easily.
It has npm packages to integrate to Nodejs server.
It has mongodb driver npm package to access all native methods
It has packages for auto-populate and auto-delete(soft delete)
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not easy to sort the result that is json according to the front-end developer.
It does not use elastic search.
Validating the sub-schema is hard.
It is not easy to join two tables (map-reduce)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Faster database operations.
Easy to write database queries via NPM packages.
Easy to relate tables that is establish relationship between tables.
