MongoDB

MongoDB is a document database. It stores data in JSON-like documents (BSON). It is the most popular NoSQL database, known for flexibility and scalability.

When to Use

• Rapid Prototyping: Schema-less design allows iterating fast without migrations.
• Content Management: Storing diverse assets with varying metadata.
• Catalogs: Product catalogs where each product has different attributes (size, color, wattage).

Quick Start

// Using Mongoose (Node.js)
const kittySchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  name: String,
});
const Kitten = mongoose.model("Kitten", kittySchema);
