Understanding Document Databases
The evolution of database technology has ushered in the importance of understanding the differences between document and relational databases. With the release of version 8.0 of MongoDB, developers are encouraged to shift their mindset from traditional relational structures to document-oriented approaches. Unlike relational databases, where data normalization is the key starting point, document databases prioritize how data will be accessed by the application. When data that is often accessed together is stored together, it significantly enhances performance and scalability, ultimately catering to modern application needs.
