Mastering MongoDB 6.x - Third Edition

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 Kubernetes Operator

In this section, we will learn how to use Kubernetes with MongoDB deployments.

An introduction to Kubernetes

Kubernetes (https://kubernetes.io) is an open source container orchestration system for automating deployment, scaling, and the management of containerized applications. In layman’s terms, we can use Kubernetes (often referred to as K8s) to manage applications deployed via containers. Kubernetes was initially developed at Google and is now maintained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF).

The most widely used container technology is probably Docker. We can download and install Docker on any PC and, through a few commands, install a Docker image that will be isolated from our host system and contain our application code. Docker performs operating system-level virtualization, where all containers are run by the host’s operating system kernel. This results in containers being more lightweight than a full virtual...
