MongoDB

Document database for MERN-stack product builds where the schema genuinely is flexible.

How we use it

MongoDB is the database in our MERN-stack builds — used where the data genuinely is document-shaped, not as a default we reach for out of habit. For anything relational, we use PostgreSQL instead.

What we use it for

  • Product catalogues and content — data that varies shape between records
  • Event and log data — high write volume, flexible schema

Our standards

Schemas are still defined and validated at the application layer even without a rigid table structure. Indexes reviewed before go-live, not after a slow query in production.
