MongoDB is a general purpose database that is easy to use. This book teaches you all you need to know to use the database. The author is a MongoDB champion.
So far in the first chapter the books shows you:
- Shows you how to interact with MongoDB using Python, NodeJS, Ruby and mongosh. For Python the motor driver is deprecated and PyMongo is the new go to driver. The author presents the strengths of each driver.
- Introduces you to essential tools like MongoDB compass
- A whole chapter dedicated to CRUD operations, (create, update, delete, replace, cursors, sorting, projections, bulk ops)
- Dives deep into more advanced topics like vector search, special collections, aggregations pipeline and security.
- How to design MongoDB schemas. Schema design patterns and anti-patterns.
- All about indexes, transactions, change streams and sharded MongoDB Clusters.
The second chapter is focused on MongoDB's cloud platform Atlas and the third chapter is focused on MongoDB security.
