Big data, agile development, and cloud computing are driving new requirements for database management systems. These requirements are in turn driving the next phase of growth in the database industry, mirroring the evolution of the OLAP industry. This document describes this evolution, the new application workload, and how MongoDB is uniquely suited to address these challenges.

This white paper will help you understand one of the most popular NoSQL options available with the AWS cloud computing platform—the open source application MongoDB. We provide an overview of general best practices that apply to all major NoSQL options, and we examine important MongoDB implementation characteristics such as performance, durability, and security. We pay particular attention to identifying features that support scalability, high availability, and fault-tolerance.
