In today’s fast-paced software development landscape, having the ability to develop and deploy applications is crucial. Pairing FastAPI with MongoDB, a NoSQL database known for its flexibility and scalability, can further enhance your application’s capabilities. This article will explore integrating FastAPI with MongoDB to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations.

Why Choose MongoDB Over a Relational Database?

Flexibility in Schema Design

• MongoDB allows for a flexible schema design, meaning that the structure of documents can change over time without affecting existing documents. This is ideal for applications where the data model is expected to evolve frequently.

Scalability

• MongoDB scales horizontally using sharding, distributing data across multiple servers. This makes it a good choice for applications expecting high traffic and large volumes of data.
