Answer from AI

MongoDB is recommended to be used in the following cases:

  • When data has a flexible or changing structure, as MongoDB is a document-oriented database where documents can have different schemas.
  • For rapid prototyping and development, when strict schema enforcement is not required.
  • When working with large volumes of data that require horizontal scaling (sharding).
  • If high performance is needed for read and write operations.
  • For applications with hierarchical or nested data, which are conveniently stored in BSON format.

For example, MongoDB is often used for content management systems, analytics, IoT, mobile applications, and other projects where data structure may frequently change.
