MongoDB is a NoSQL database driver that has become increasingly popular as an alternative to MySQL and other traditional databases. Its popularity stems from the fact that there were few alternatives available at the time it was released in 2009.
Today, MongoDB is still widely used in many different programming languages for various functionalities. In fact, it is often combined with other databases to reduce the load on transactions, which is not typically a priority for traditional databases.
To grow its audience and increase its popularity, MongoDB has been actively advertised to developer communities. The database has been used in famous projects like Foursquare, which has helped to increase its adoption and usage by a wider audience.
One of the primary use cases for MongoDB is document storage, and it is one of the most popular NoSQL databases among developers. Unlike traditional relational databases, MongoDB uses a collection-based structure to store data. Within these collections, data is stored in documents, which are similar to rows in relational databases but do not have predefined columns.
Overall, MongoDB's flexible schema and scalability have made it a popular choice for developers looking for a more agile and scalable database solution.
