Why MongoDB First?
Flexible Schemas
Content management benefits from document-based storage. Add fields, embed objects, store any structure.
Rapid Development
No migrations for every schema change. Iterate quickly on content models without downtime.
Multilingual Native
Store translations inline with content. No complex join tables for multilingual data.
Scale Ready
MongoDB Atlas provides easy scaling. Move from free tier to enterprise without code changes.
