Topic: Introduction to MongoDB
The relational database has been around for a very long time. It is used in almost every kind of application imaginable. Most all developers have experience using an RDBMS and use it on almost every project by default. When was the last time you considered using an alternative? You haven’t? Let me invite you to take a step outside the box for a moment.
MongoDB is one of the new breed of “NoSQL” databases available as alternatives to relational databases. It is a document database that represents its data as JSON, and thus requires no schema. It can easily scale across many computers using auto-sharding and supports redundancy for each shard. Come get an overview this database, its scalability and redundancy features, and how to access it via C#. While MongoDB is not meant to replace all SQL databases, its good to know there is an alternative for the cases where it is the better fit.
