summary
MongoDB is a document oriented nonrelational database that stores associative arrays directly and supports secondary indexes plus MapReduce for reporting. Sites like New York Times, GitHub, and Business Insider run it in production and the deployments page lists ~100 companies. It removes schema migrations so teams get a fast development cycle, and the practical tipping point is when relational databases become the application bottleneck or when denormalization and large‑scale analytics demand a different storage model.
