Database Evolution
- Relational databases offer limited innovation, unlike document databases like MongoDB.
- Document databases prioritize application access patterns and data co-location for performance.
Document Database Design
- Design document databases by considering application access patterns, not just data structure.
- Store data accessed together in the same collection for optimal performance and scalability.
Vector Database Integration
- Vector databases can be integrated with existing databases like PostgreSQL or MongoDB.
- Combining operational and vector data within MongoDB offers performance advantages by reducing latency.
