By: Alex Giamas

Overview of this book

MongoDB is a leading non-relational database. This book covers all the major features of MongoDB including the latest version 6. MongoDB 6.x adds many new features and expands on existing ones such as aggregation, indexing, replication, sharding and MongoDB Atlas tools. Some of the MongoDB Atlas tools that you will master include Atlas dedicated clusters and Serverless, Atlas Search, Charts, Realm Application Services/Sync, Compass, Cloud Manager and Data Lake. By getting hands-on working with code using realistic use cases, you will master the art of modeling, shaping and querying your data and become the MongoDB oracle for the business. You will focus on broadly used and niche areas such as optimizing queries, configuring large-scale clusters, configuring your cluster for high performance and availability and many more. Later, you will become proficient in auditing, monitoring, and securing your clusters using a structured and organized approach. By the end of this book, you will have grasped all the practical understanding needed to design, develop, administer and scale MongoDB-based database applications both on premises and on the cloud.

MongoDB Tooling

Features, stability, and great driver support are all important; however, there is another area that is key to a software product succeeding, and that is the ecosystem built around it. MongoDB (originally under the name 10gen Inc.) introduced the MongoDB Management Service (MMS) more than 10 years ago, in 2011, and it was seen as an innovation at the time. In this chapter, we will go through the following suite of different tools that are available for MongoDB and explore how they can improve productivity:

  • MongoDB Charts
  • MongoDB Kubernetes Operator
  • MongoDB Atlas Serverless
  • MongoDB Realm services
  • MongoDB Compass
  • MongoDB Cloud and Ops Manager

In particular, we will cover the following topics:

  • Introduction to MongoDB tools
  • MongoDB Kubernetes Operator
  • MongoDB Atlas Serverless
  • MongoDB Realm
  • MongoDB Charts
  • MongoDB Compass
  • MongoDB Cloud Manager
