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.

Advanced Querying

In the previous chapter, we learned how to use MongoDB for auditing and the difference in semantics between logging and auditing. In this chapter, we will dive deeper into using MongoDB with drivers and popular frameworks from Ruby, Python, and Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP).

We will also show the best practices for using these languages, and the variety of comparison and update operators that MongoDB supports at the database level, all of which can be accessed via Ruby, Python, and PHP.

Finally, we will learn about change streams, a MongoDB feature that we can use to stream database changes to our application in real time.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • MongoDB CRUD operations
  • Change streams
