MongoDB is a high-performance and feature-rich NoSQL
database that forms the backbone of the systems that power many
different organizations – it’s easy to see why it’s the most popular
NoSQL database on the market. Packed with many features that have become
essential for many different types of software professionals and
incredibly easy to use, this cookbook contains many solutions to the
everyday challenges of MongoDB, as well as guidance on effective
techniques to extend your skills and capabilities.
This book starts with how to initialize the server in three different
modes with various configurations. You will then be introduced to
programming language drivers in both Java and Python. A new feature in
MongoDB 3 is that you can connect to a single node using Python, set to
make MongoDB even more popular with anyone working with Python. You will
then learn a range of further topics including advanced query
operations, monitoring and backup using MMS, as well as some very useful
administration recipes including SCRAM-SHA-1 Authentication. Beyond
that, you will also find recipes on cloud deployment, including guidance
on how to work with Docker containers alongside MongoDB, integrating
the database with Hadoop, and tips for improving developer productivity.
Created as both an accessible tutorial and an easy to use resource,
on hand whenever you need to solve a problem, MongoDB Cookbook will help
you handle everything from administration to automation with MongoDB
more effectively than ever before.
