Chapter 1. Introduction

NoSQL databases have revolutionized the way data is stored and accessed,
offering flexibility and scalability that traditional relational databases often cannot
match. This guide explores the process of selecting and installing a NoSQL
database, focusing on MongoDB. MongoDB is a leading document-oriented
database known for its scalability, flexibility, and performance. It provides
horizontal scalability through sharding, supports dynamic schemas with its JSON-
like BSON format, and is optimized for read and write operations, making it ideal
for real-time analytics and fast data processing. Additionally, MongoDB boasts a
large and active community, extensive documentation, and a robust ecosystem
of tools and integrations. The installation process for MongoDB is straightforward,
ensuring accessibility for both beginners and experienced database
administrators. This guide will provide a comprehensive overview of MongoDB's
benefits and a detailed, step-by-step installation process on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS,
ensuring readers are well-equipped to deploy this powerful database solution.

Chapter 2. Selecting the NOSQL database

2.1 Selected Database

• Name: MongoDB
• Type: Document-oriented database
• Official page: https://www.mongodb.com/

2.2 Justification for Selecting MongoDB

MongoDB was selected for several key reasons:

• Scalability: MongoDB provides horizontal scalability via sharding, allowing it to

handle large volumes of data and high-traffic applications.
• Flexibility: As a document-oriented database, MongoDB stores data in JSON-
like BSON (Binary JSON) format, allowing for a dynamic schema. This
flexibility makes it ideal for applications where data structure needs to evolve
over time.
• Performance: MongoDB is optimized for read and write operations, making it
suitable for real-time analytics and fast data processing.

• Community and ecosystem: MongoDB has a large and active community,
extensive documentation, and a robust ecosystem of tools and integrations.
• Ease of use: The installation and configuration process of MongoDB is
straightforward, making it accessible for both beginners and experienced
database administrators.
