Scalable and Highly Flexible NoSQL Database
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite feature in this database is the flexibility of its use as well as the possibility to scale it. Because this model stores data in JSON-like formats, it is possible to handle unstructured and semi-structured data without having to prescribe very specific data models. This flexibility is especially good for application where the structure of the data being stored can change as time passes. Being able to scale a database horizontally through the use of sharding is one of MongoDB’s best features since it helps in loading big data and is efficient when dealing with traffic loads. Also, its complex query language; the power offered by the aggregation framework and indexing and data retrieval make the process very efficient and diverse. Moreover, features such as the MongoDB Atlas make cloud deployment and management easy and more enjoyable. MongoDB has gained many supporters of the community and had a great documentation, which makes it fit for today’s developments.
What do you dislike about the product?
Probably one of the biggest negatives of the MongoDB is its steep learning curve for those that have no prior experience with NoSQL systems or have recently migrated from SQL. On the positive side, it is also very flexible, allowing developers to easily create badly thought out schemas, which when the application starts getting a lot of use can slow down the performance immensely. Also, handling shard and replication in self-serving environment quite challenging and may need good understanding of structure. A third anotated limitation is the ACID properties of transactions while MongoDB has added support for these recently and to a far lesser extent than traditional relational database systems, it may not be suitable where high consistency is critical. Finally and as for the offering of MongoDB Atlas, which is a cloud managed service of MongoDB, there is a high likelihood of accumulating high costs particularly for those that are intending to develop jumbo scale applications for their start-ups or small business enterprises.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is solving several problems that are inherent in managing huge amount of unstructured or semi structured data. It’s for businesses who are struggling to scale and create flexibility, as well as develop rapidly. Organizations can operate massive datasets and high traffic applications, while performance stays consistent despite the increasing volume of data, thanks to its ability to scale horizontally, or sharding. For businesses with unpredictable or changing data structure, like e-commerce, IoT, social media, this feature is particularly useful.
The biggest benefit for me about MongoDB has to do with being able to modify the data model on the fly without a rigid schema, which helps speed up development due to the iterations necessary. This flexibility allows prototypes of new features to be easier or to simply pivot when business requirements change. Also, MongoDB’s powerful querying and aggregating functionalities make analyzing large dataset very efficient and help in making data driven decision. Also, MongoDB cloud service, MongoDB Atlas, removes my burden of infrastructure management so I can development application and less of database management. From an overall perspective, MongoDB provides for rapid development, scalability, and efficiency that are necessary to compete in the fast changing world.
