This is the start of a new series we’re doing about MongoDB. We are going to take you through the ins and outs of using a NoSQl to store your data. MongoDB is one of the most popular DBMS out there and is the industry leading NoSQL database. MongoDB’s popularity stems from its speed, ease of development, and flexibility. Instead of normalizing your data into a series of related tables, Mongo allows you to store all the relevant information into a single schemaless document. This not only makes writing queries faster but depending on how you set up your database this makes your queries execute faster too.
