**What do you like best about MongoDB?**

Mongo Compass was a great GUI, that helped me first step into working with databases. When I first used MongoDB, I was a front end focused software engineer. When it came time for me to learn how to build projects with databases, MongoDB and Compass was the tool that helped me start learning quickly and the gain confidence.

**What do you dislike about MongoDB?**

The non relational nature of MongoDB is probably both it's strength and it's weakness. I think if MongoDB could find some way to enforce typed Schemas and relationships in the way that SQL databases does, it would help a lot of software engineers. I understand that there is speed that comes with a non relationship DB, but having the write out a scheam and relationships forces the engineer to think through their database design. It feels like why Typescript, is better than using Javascript is almost all cases. In the begining a new engineer might complain that Typescript is slowing them down, but in the end it is the best choice.

**What problems is MongoDB solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Helping us create databases quickly and without too many hurtles to clear
