What is MongoDB exactly?

A fundamental shift is taking place in the database market. Demand for non-relational (NoSQL) databases is exploding as organizations look for low cost scalable ways of storing and managing data. If you are new to NoSQL, then moving away from traditional, relational databases may at first appear daunting and you are asking yourself:

• Can I use NoSQL with a new project?
• Are NoSQL solutions enterprise-ready?
• How do I go about architecting a NoSQL solution?

The answer is: MongoDB; an open source document-oriented database that provides a better match for the data storage and retrieval requirements for many enterprise applications than the traditional relational databases do. MongoDB allows you to work with JSON-like rich document structures, which greatly reduces the impedance mismatch between your application's data structures and the way in which they are represented in a database.

MongoDB does not enforce a fixed schema, thereby supporting agile development in a world where data models continuously evolve, yet still provides rich query functionality along with very high performance. It can deal with very large data sets by scaling horizontally through its built-in support for sharding, so it can grow together with your data storage needs if a single machine setup no longer suffices. Fail-over and other high availability features in MongoDB are provided by replica sets, assuring your data is always there when you need it even in the face of a server outage.

Why are Enterprises turning to MongoDB?

Many Enterprises are enjoying the benefits of MongoDB in their projects and here are some reasons why:


• Over 500 commercial customers, with numerous large deployments scaling to 1000 or more servers. Enterprise customers include O2, Telefonica, The National Archives, Government Digital Service and Disney

• 451 group’s analysis of LinkedIn profile member skills illustrates MongoDB adoption greater than other NoSQL technologies combined

• MongoDB developer skillset is trending at #2 for online jobs according to indeed.com, positioned after HTML5

• Google searches for MongoDB and Mongo now exceed combined searches versus other NoSQL vendors.
