✅ MongoDB
I asked about Entity Framework earlier, and it turned out to be a very useful thing. What can you say about MongoDB? Is it worth looking into? Is it really necessary for a back-end developer?

Entity Framework has little to nothing to do with Mongo
Mongo uses it's own driver
Since it's not a relational database and doesn't use SQL
Whether it's worth looking into or not? Well, there used to be a huge "no-SQL" boom back in the days, where people were writing posts on Medium about ditching their relational database for Mongo
Then there was a wave of posts about ditching Mongo for Postgres say it's good to at least know what a document database like Mongo is
Yeah it's a different type of database that suits different kinds of data. Typically schemaless self-contained data.
I mean, it's the same situation, where I have no clue what it is and I'm just asking about it 🙂
Just wanted to clarify, is it worth spending time on it to include it in resume.
Mongo is mostly popular in the server-side JS world
Since a schemaless database fits a typeless language well
so i don't rly need it
I'd say so
Know what it is and what it does
That should suffice
