Developing with MongoDB
Chapter 5 covers what indexing is and how to index your MongoDB collections. Chapter 6 explains how to use several special types of indexes and collections. Chapter 7 covers a number of techniques for aggregating data with MongoDB, including counting, finding distinct values, grouping documents, the aggregation framework, and writing these results to a collection. Chapter 8 introduces transactions: what they are, how best to use them for your application, and how to tune. Finally, this section finishes with a chapter on designing your application: Chapter 9 goes over tips for writing an application that works well with MongoDB.
Replication
The replication section starts with Chapter 10, which gives you a quick way to set up a replica set locally and covers many of the available configuration options. Chapter 11 then covers the various concepts related to replication. Chapter 12 shows how replication interacts with your application and Chapter 13 covers the administrative aspects of running a replica set.
Sharding
The sharding section starts in Chapter 14 with a quick local setup. Chapter 15 then gives an overview of the components of the cluster and how to set them up. Chapter 16 has advice on choosing a shard key for a variety of applications. Finally, Chapter 17 covers administering a sharded cluster.
Application Administration
The next two chapters cover many aspects of MongoDB administration from the perspective of your application. Chapter 18 discusses how to introspect what MongoDB is doing. Chapter 19 covers security in MongoDb and how to configure authentication as well as authorization for your deployment. Chapter 20 explains how MongoDB stores data durably.
Server Administration
The final section is focused on server administration. Chapter 21 covers common options when starting and stopping MongoDB.
