What is mongoDB?

1. It's a database
   • Mongo comes from: 'humongous'
2. Built to store lots and lots of data
3. In mongo db we have collections instead of tables
   • inside of a collection you have a document
     • json format (key, value)
   • Inside a collection, you are schemaless
4. MongoDB converts json to bson format behind the scenes

How does MongoDB differ from SQL DB

1. MongoDB is a 'nosql' solution
2. Stores data together in a document
3. Document data can have multiple structures
   • Can get messy, but developers need to keep it clean
4. No schema
5. Use it for apps that may evolve, where data reqs aren't defined
6. Less 'tables' (collections)
   • You store data together, so app pulls more at once
