Data Modeling for MongoDB: Building Well-Designed and Supportable MongoDB Databases

by Steve Hoberman

Congratulations! You completed the MongoDB application within the given tight timeframe and there is a party to celebrate your application's release into production. Although people are congratulating you at the celebration, you are feeling some uneasiness inside. To complete the project on time required making a lot of assumptions about the data, such as what terms meant and how calculations are derived. In addition, the poor documentation about the application will be of limited use to the support team, and not investigating all of the inherent rules in the data may eventually lead to poorly-performing structures in the not-so-distant future.

Now, what if you had a time machine and could go back and read this book. You would learn that even NoSQL databases like MongoDB require some level of data modeling. Data modeling is the process of learning about the data, and regardless of technology, this process must be performed for a successful application. You would learn the value of conceptual, logical, and physical data modeling and how each stage increases our knowledge of the data and reduces assumptions and poor design decisions.

Read this book to learn how to do data modeling for MongoDB applications, and accomplish these five This book is written for anyone who is working with, or will be working with MongoDB, including business analysts, data modelers, database administrators, developers, project managers, and data scientists. There are three Key points are included at the end of each chapter as a way to reinforce concepts. In addition, this book is loaded with hands-on exercises, along with their answers provided in Appendix A. Appendix B contains all of the book’s references and Appendix C contains a glossary of the terms used throughout the text.

Le daria un 1 si ya se ha estudiado algo de creación de BD relacionales. Esta casi totalmente orientado como introducción a la creación de los modelos de BD en general con muy poca información referente a No SqL o MongoDb. No vale la pena.

Fantastic description of how to do data modeling with helpful resources.

A small section of one chapter that is specific to MongoDB and document modeling. The rest is equivalent to any other modeling text that covers Conceptual modeling to logical modeling.

There is nothing special/great about this book. Most of it just talks about general Data modelling concepts and MongoDb fundamentals which can be found in tutorials.
