Mumbai MUG: Data Modeling and Schema Design Patterns for MongoDB
MongoDB User Group Mumbai is back with another exciting and insightful event! ![]()
Join us on 27th April 2025 at ITM Andheri for an in-depth technical lab session
The purpose of this lab is to provide participants with a better understanding of the data modeling methodology for MongoDB. This will enable you to build more performant applications and have a better experience when using MongoDB.
• Identify the entities in a given prototype application
• Quantify the workloads based on a list of requirements
• Model the relationship between the entities and when to embed or reference
• Apply some of the more practical design patterns — extended reference, inheritance and computed
• Avoid schema design antipatterns — unbounded arrays and bloated documents
Practical applications of this knowledge:
• This workshop equips developers with a structured methodology for designing efficient MongoDB data models and leaves them more confident in choosing MongoDB for their future projects.
• They will gain the skills to identify and resolve common schema design pitfalls in their existing applications and avoid them in future projects.
Why You Should Attend:
By the end of this lab, you’ll:
- Be confident in applying best practices for MongoDB schema design
- Have a clear understanding of how to analyze workloads and model data accordingly
- Be able to refactor existing schemas and design efficient new ones
- Improve your readiness for real-world MongoDB projects
