MongoDB is a non-relational database and provides few guarantees around ACID. Data modeling in MongoDB is not focused around BCNF, 2NF, and 3NF normalization, but rather, quite the opposite direction.
In MongoDB, many times, the best approach is to embed our data into subdocuments, resulting in more self-contained documents than a single row of data in an RDBMS. This means that a logical transaction can affect a single document many times. Single-document transactions are ACID-compliant in MongoDB, meaning that multi-document ACID transactions have not been essential for MongoDB development.
However, there are a few reasons why getting multi-document transactions is a good idea. Over the years, MongoDB has grown from being a niche database to a multi-purpose database that is used everywhere – from startups to major Fortune 500 companies. Across many different...
