MongoDB Roadmap:
1. Introduction to MongoDB:
• What is MongoDB?
• History and evolution of MongoDB.
• Comparison with traditional SQL databases.
• Use cases and advantages of MongoDB.
2. Getting Started:
• Installation of MongoDB on different platforms.
• Setting up MongoDB Atlas (cloud-hosted MongoDB service).
• Connecting to MongoDB using the MongoDB shell and MongoDB
Compass (GUI).
3. Basic Operations:
• Creating databases and collections.
• Inserting documents into collections.
• Querying documents using MongoDB Query Language (MQL).
• Updating and deleting documents.
• Understanding MongoDB CRUD operations.
4. Schema Design:
• Understanding MongoDB's flexible schema model.
• Designing efficient schemas for various use cases.
• Embedded documents vs. referenced documents.
• Indexing strategies for improving query performance.
5. Aggregation Framework:
• Introduction to the MongoDB Aggregation Framework.
• Pipeline stages and operators.
• Aggregation pipelines for data transformation and analysis.
• Real-world examples of aggregation queries.
6. Data Modeling and Best Practices:
• Data modeling considerations for MongoDB.
• Normalization vs. denormalization.
• Schema design patterns for different application scenarios.
• Best practices for optimizing MongoDB performance and scalability.
7. Replication and High Availability:
• Understanding MongoDB replication.
• Replica set architecture and components.
• Configuring replica sets for high availability and fault tolerance.
• Failover and automatic election of primary nodes.
8. Sharding and Scalability:
• Introduction to MongoDB sharding.
• Sharded cluster architecture and components.
• Configuring sharded clusters for horizontal scalability.
• Shard keys and data distribution strategies.
9. Security:
• Authentication and authorization in MongoDB.
• Role-based access control (RBAC) and user management.
• Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption for data protection.
• Security best practices for securing MongoDB deployments.
10. Monitoring and Performance Tuning:
• Monitoring MongoDB performance using built-in tools (mongostat,
mongotop).
• Profiling and diagnosing performance issues.
• Performance optimization techniques (indexing, query optimization).
• Scaling MongoDB deployments for increasing workload demands.
11. Backup and Disaster Recovery:
• MongoDB backup strategies and best practices.
• Creating backups using mongodump and mongorestore utilities.
• Implementing point-in-time recovery (PITR) with MongoDB Atlas.
• Disaster recovery planning and procedures.
12. Deployment and Operations:
• Deploying MongoDB in production environments.
• Configuration management and automation (Ansible, Puppet, Chef).
• Containerization with Docker and Kubernetes.
• Continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) pipelines for MongoDB
applications.
13. Advanced Topics:
• Geospatial indexing and queries.
• Text search capabilities with MongoDB Atlas Search.
• Time-series data management with MongoDB.
• Integrating MongoDB with other technologies (e.g., Apache Kafka, Apache
Spark).
14. Case Studies and Real-world Applications:
• Case studies of companies using MongoDB in production.
• Real-world examples of MongoDB applications in different industries.
• Best practices and lessons learned from successful MongoDB
deployments.
15. Community and Resources:
• MongoDB community resources (forums, user groups, conferences).
• Online tutorials, documentation, and training resources.
• MongoDB certification programs and career paths.
• Contributing to the MongoDB open-source community.
