MongoDB

MongoDB is a document-oriented NoSQL database designed for applications that benefit from flexible schemas and evolving data models.

Key Capabilities

• Document-Based Data Model
  Stores JSON-like documents, enabling flexible and evolving schemas.

• Horizontal Scalability
  Supports scaling through replication and sharding.

• Aggregation Framework
  Provides expressive pipelines for data transformation and analysis.

• Indexing & Query Performance
  Enables efficient querying over semi-structured data.

• High Availability
  Supports replica sets for fault tolerance.

Experience & Platform Contribution

Worked with MongoDB in a supporting role within selected systems, primarily for storing flexible or semi-structured data.

Exposure included:

• Using MongoDB to store dynamic data structures in ML-adjacent applications
• Managing collections containing vector embeddings and metadata
• Interfacing MongoDB with application services and data pipelines
• Understanding trade-offs between document stores and relational databases
• Evaluating MongoDB as part of broader data storage decisions

MongoDB was used selectively and pragmatically, with a clear understanding of its strengths and limitations relative to other storage technologies in the platform.
