Understanding data model is sufficient to design good database schema in RDBMS (relational database management system). Having this knowledge you are able to construct normalized tables, add appropriate constraints and finally create indexes to speed up queries. In the world of NoSQL there are no simple solutions, rules and answers. That’s why we can only talk about patterns, tips and hints. MongoDB is not an exception. Besides the comprehension of stored data, deep understanding of an access pattern, how data is searched, inserted and updated by an application is needed.

In everyday work programmers are facing various problems. We would like to focus on two of them: big systems with non-blocking API and specific business needs that can be solved using Expression Language. Hold tight!
