Getting the Most out of MongoDB
summary
Shows concrete, runnable specifics: PHP uses the MongoDB extension (install with pecl install mongodb) plus the composer library, collections auto-create on first insert, and the driver exposes find/insert/update/delete and operators like $set/$inc/$push. Indexes, geospatial and text indexes and explain plans are demonstrated; the aggregation pipeline (including sample which can return 1000 docs and unwind/group stages) builds histograms and works. Replica sets run 1–50 nodes, Atlas offers a free tier, and transactions are coming to the driver.
