A presentation of MongoDB that aims to bridge the gap between key-value stores (which are fast and highly scalable) and traditional RDBMS systems (which provide rich queries and deep functionality). MongoDB (from “humongous”) is a scalable, high-performance, open source, document-oriented database written in C++.
The topics covered by this presentation of MongoDB are:
- MongoDB data storage format
- Querying a NoSQL database
- Case studies using MongoDB
- References in a non-relational DBMS
- Indexing
- Scaling and sharding
- Performance advantages
