Inheritance Pattern Fundamentals | Schema Design Patterns and Antipatterns for Beginners

In this video, we explore the inheritance pattern in MongoDB, a powerful strategy for organizing and grouping documents within a collection.

Watch as we dive into examples from our bookstore app and demonstrate the application of this pattern using MongoDB's aggregation framework to transform existing data models.
