MongoDB introduction

MongoDB is a Non Relational JSON document store/database . Non relational means it does not supports relational algebra between the tables like SQL ( Does not support JOINs).

Benefits :

  • High performance.
  • High availability.
  • Highly  scalable.


MongoDB does not supports JOINs :
Joins scales poorly when we try to scale out to multiple nodes. 

No transaction support :
MongoDB doesn't provide any transaction support. Something that requires multiple updates within a relational system can be handled within a single atomic transaction within a single document in mongo.
