🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:

00:02 🗂️ *MongoDB Data Structure Overview*
- MongoDB organizes data into collections within databases.
- A database can have multiple collections for different types of data.
- Collections store documents, each representing individual records.
01:24 📄 *Structure of MongoDB Documents*
- Documents in MongoDB resemble JSON objects with key-value pairs.
- BSON (binary JSON) is used for storage, but documents are retrieved as JSON objects.
- Documents typically include custom properties like title, author, tags, upvotes, and body.
02:20 🆔 *Unique Identifiers in MongoDB*
- Every document in MongoDB has a unique identifier called ObjectId.
- MongoDB assigns this identifier automatically when creating a document.
- The ObjectId allows precise retrieval of a document by its unique value.
03:00 📊 *Possibility of Nested Documents*
- MongoDB documents can have properties with values that are themselves documents.
- Nested documents offer an alternative to referencing documents in other collections.
- Understanding nested documents provides flexibility in data organization.

Hello Shaun, the series is great! Please also try to cover the relational or embedded data concept because many of the tutorials skip that part. Thank you Shaun for the best content ever.

So I wouldn’t need Ubuntu if I do it this way?

Please don't nest documents.
Don't make it redundant.
