What is MongoDB?
MongoDB is a document-oriented NoSQL database that stores data in flexible, JSON-like documents. It's designed for ease of development, horizontal scaling, and high availability.

- Schema Flexibility: Documents can have varying structures as requirements evolve
- Developer Experience: Native JSON makes it natural for JavaScript/Node.js
- Horizontal Scaling: Built-in sharding for distributed workloads
- Rich Queries: Powerful aggregation framework and full-text search
- Atlas: Fully managed cloud service with global distribution
