How easily does MongoDB scale for sudden traffic spikes?

It scales horizontally via sharding on a well-chosen shard key. For sudden spikes, ensure your shard key distributes writes evenly (avoid monotonic keys like timestamps). Vertically, increase replica set resources. Remember to use connection pooling to handle connection storms. Atlas auto-scaling can help, but sharding strategy matters most.

What backup and point-in-time restore options exist?

Atlas (managed service) has daily backups with 35 day retention and point-in-time recovery (PITR) using oplog snapshots. For self-hosted (like i usually do), you can use mongodump for logical backups, filesystem snapshots for physical backups, or set up replica sets with oplog-based PITR. The oplog approach is preferred for production since it lets you restore to any moment within the oplog window (typically 24 hours by default, it's configurable).

What are best practices for change streams performance?

aggregation pipelines in change streams to filter events server-side rather than client-side.
Enable resumable change streams with resume tokens to handle network interruptions gracefully.
Monitor oplog size, if it's too small, resume tokens expire quickly.
Consider sharded clusters for better throughput; change streams scale better there.
Batch process events rather than handling them one at a time.

MongoDB is a NoSQL database that gives developers the freedom to build fast, flexible, and scalable applications — without being locked into rigid schemas. At Sparkwave Technologies, we prefer MongoDB when we need to work with dynamic data, real-time updates, or fast prototyping. Its document-based structure makes it perfect for modern web and mobile applications where the data model may evolve over time.

MongoDB is an excellent tool for storing data when you don't need to worry about schema validation. Excellent performance and scalability are also some of the reasons I use it for many projects.
