Why businesses use MongoDB
It suits products whose data varies in shape or changes quickly, such as catalogues, content, and user-generated data, allowing fast iteration early in a product's life.
How MongoDB works
Each record is a document that can contain nested information. Documents in the same collection do not need identical fields, and MongoDB can scale by spreading data across servers.
