MongoDB or you might hear people call it Mongo, is one of the most popular NoSQL database solutions to date.
It is open-source, free to use for personal and commercial use, and extremely flexible.
Programming languages such as Go ( I have a short example video of interacting with MongoDB using Go ), Javascript, and many others can interact with MongoDB using third-party modules, often being official modules from the MongoDB team.
You can read more about it here.
Here is a summary of some of its features:
- Stores data as JSON documents in schema-less collections.
- Uses Javascript as its query language.
- Has a lot of feature parity with traditional SQL databases.
- Boasts amazing horizontal scaling using replica sets.
Here is some additional information and tutorials about MongoDB from me:
