MongoDB in Action by Kyle Banker
DESCRIPTION
MongoDB is a document-oriented database that's highly scalable and
delivers very high-performance, especially with massive data sets that
need to be spread across multiple servers. It blends the things you
expect with any database like indexing, querying, and high
availability with powerful new features like easy horizontal scaling
("auto-sharding"), map/reduce aggregation, and a flexible document
data model to support dynamic schemas.
MongoDB in Action is a comprehensive guide to MongoDB for
application developers. The book begins by explaining what makes
MongoDB unique and describing its ideal use cases. A series of
tutorials designed for MongoDB mastery then leads into detailed
examples for leveraging MongoDB in e-commerce, social networking,
analytics, and other common applications.
