Let’s start with MongoDB

Introduction:

Today is era where machines are producing enough data or in another word millions and trillions of data every second. Yes this is era of Big Data. If we look at the trend the business is more focused on data analysis. When data is huge in size then data processing becomes slower. What could be the solution to this particular problem?

A technical group planned a meet up, with hash tag #NoSQL. Since then this is called NoSQL database. NOSQL was solution to the above problem mentioned not completely but up some extend, yes! NoSQL is horizontally scalable and it is easy to do clustering. These DBs are light weight, fast or very good performance compare to conventional structured database.

 

Advantages:

•          Fast /High Performance
•          Very popular
•          Horizontally scalable
•          Light weight

Disadvantages:

•          Less features.
•          No Joins

Get Started:

Let’s install Mongo DB in our machine, which is very simplest job to do. Unlike other software we can download the Mongo DB from their website. You download the Mongo DB based on your OS of machine. I am having Windows OS with me, so I will consider Examples with windows.

Once you download the Mogo DB MSI, You can run that and install in your machine. Once you are done with installation you get a folder created in your system’s drive (C:\Program Files).

We are done with installation of Mongo DB now. 

In my next blog post, I will talk about how to set up an instance of mongo db. in our machine. How can you run mongo dB server as windows service.
