How to change your life with Gamification

Disclaimer stat point and daily quest (points) are used interchangeably and are different from main/side quest (points)

₊˚ ‿︵‿︵‿︵୨୧ · · ♡ · · ୨୧‿︵‿︵‿︵ ˚₊₊˚ ‿︵‿︵‿︵୨୧ · · ♡ · · ୨୧₊˚

You may have already heard about Gamification. It’s a strategy in which you use game mechanics,elements and principles to apply them to your everyday life to enhance your performance, studying etc.

But how should I use this technique to get the most of my life?

This is a guide for implementing Gamification in your life and thoroughly explains the process.

In my guide I am inspired by manhwa systems like in the solo leveling manhwa. Normally a system gives you stats such as strength which one can upgrade and become stronger. Upgrading is archived by quests that give you exp which also can increase your Rank e.g from F Rank to E Rank all the way to S Rank or higher. Quests are differentiated between daily quests and non daily quests. There are more functions such as items and gold but for the basic setup they are not needed

First you need to create your stats. In the solo leveling manhwa there are six stats: Strength, Vitality, Agility, Intelligence and Sense. You should have six stats but you are not obligated to use the ones from solo leveling. Idk how you can implement Sense and Vitality.

I strongly recommend you to have a stat called Willpower which indicated if you did every quest that you set for yourself and how well you stick to the system as a motivation.

As you can see I copied the stats Strength, Intelligence and Agility from Solo Leveling and added Willpower, Discipline and Stamina.

Some other ideas for stats are:

Charm (Beauty stat: I would use this if you want to glow up)

Charisma (If you want to improve your social skills or want to speak ------------ more professionally etc. I would use this stat

Health: If you want to eat more healthily or want to diet or want to -------- get your sleep schedule right etc. I would use this stat

You can get creative and cater to your own needs

Now if you have your stats you have to create a daily quests with each of these stats

Here is my example:

My quests don't look like much but you have to gradually work yourself up to your goals. Someone who has never done e.g Pilates in their life can't do a 30 min Pilates workout from day one without loosing motivation in the long run. So if you want to e.g. get your sleep schedule right I would set your wake up time e.g. 5min earlier every cycle until you reach your goal and maintain it.

A cycle equals 21 days. If you finish a cycle you can reflect your performance and make the daily quests harder or change the stats if they don't fit into your goals. Especially your first cycle is more of a test and try period. But you should keep your stats as they were and should not change them except if they really don't serve you.

Main/Side Quest stats:

These quests are quests like ''learn … language for 15min''. They are more of a to-do lists task.

I would use this formula for categorizing these tasks:

ASSIGNMENT (S) LIST

The ASSIGNMENTS

:::

:::

:::

CATEGORY: main/side exp etc.

DIFFICULTY: e.g. SSS

CLEAR CONDITION: e.g. finish all assignment(s)

TIME LIMIT: e.g. 7 hours

REWARD UPON COMPLEATION

:::

+2 exp

Stats in crease: e.g. Mentality +1 Intelligence +2 Motivation +1 Skill +1

PENALTY UPON FAILIURE

:::

all stats -1 (e.g.)

emotional damage e.g. +3

DURATION: e.g. 24 hours

Items confiscation …

DURATION: ???

Emotional damage stat explained:

This stat affects your conversion rate to points in the daily quest stat points. Normally the conversion rate is 10 e.g 10 main quest stat willpower point = 1 daily quest willpower stat point. Per +5 emotional damage you have to collect 5 extra points to converse the stat point

Example 10 points are needed in the main quest stats to converse to one stat point with a rate of 5 emotional damage point you need 15 points. A 10 point emotional damage point equals a 20 point conversion rate and so on.

How to decrease the emotional damage stat:

If you complete main/side quests as a reward you get -1 emotional damage point which you can use to get your emotional damage point to a good level. Emotional damage can't get into the negative.

The difference between daily quest stats or stats and main/side quest stats and leveling up is explained below

Stats in/de- crease in the main/side quests doesn't affect the normal stats that we've established so you have to create a new stat page for the main/side quest stats to count the points.

Like this:

Ten points on e.g intelligence stat on this list equals one daily quest intelligence stat point.

The conversion rate is as such 10 to 1 which means if you have e.g ten agility points you get one agility stat point.

How to level up:

Every time you finish a daily quest you gain a point for the Stat (first pic) you can only gain one point per stat per day. If you gain 10 points at every stat in the daily quest stat you can level up. If you don't finish a quest you will loose 1 point from the stat that you would've gained one point from.

Ranking up:

First you have to choose a range from which you can level up e.g F to S Rank / F to SSS+ Rank etc. than you have to find a starting point which you gradually increase e.g 20 (start point) increases +20% per Rank up.

How to increase your Rank:

Completing all daily quests gives you 1 EXP while the EXP gain can value in main/side quest the rest is explained above.

Here's my example:

Zyklus is German for cycle which I just tracked here and is explained above.

Lastly you need something that motivates you and in Solo Leveling it was a Punishment Zone if sung jin woo doesn't complete his quests.

For myself if I don't complete 5/6 quests i have to do the punishment.

For the punishment you have to do something you detests (and strains your body)

My example are 150 burpees

A full page can look like this:

One last thing is that you can 100% customise this approach you can add coins items etc. which also exists in a system, change other things as you like but the foundation has to remain intact.

We already know the borrowers’ size puts them at a slight disadvantage when it comes to survival, but how does their size positively impact them? (scientific/biology answer)

Hi everyone! This post is going to be a little continuation of the previous post I did about borrowers’ fall damage. If you haven’t read it, I recommend checking it out (here)! In this post, I will talk about some scientifically proven advantages that borrowers have. BTW word count is like 1000.

Throughout all the borrower stories I have read, I have found some interesting constants: borrowers heal quicker than humans, recover from illness faster than humans, are genetically faster and stronger relative to their body mass, need little to no vitamin D to survive, etc. In fact, the original book by Mary Norton and a few of its adaptations mention a peculiar “borrower sense” that Arrietty and Pod Clock seem to have, which allows them to sense humans before they appear. However, scientific backing and evidence is rarely provided. Here, I will evaluate the legitimacy of many borrower conceptions.

1. Superhuman agility, durability, and strength

Borrowers tend to be depicted as having the superhuman ability to climb up structures relatively the height of skyscrapers with no sweat, but does this have to do with the muscle they built up over time, or does the answer lie in their genetics and body make-up? My non-proven scientific hypothesis is that both of these answers are correct. While yes, the fact that borrowers spend their entire lives exercising definitely plays a role in their off-the-charts abilities, there is also a not-so-talked-about genetic and biology explanation for this, the first reason tying back to my previous physics post.

I explained earlier that bone strength relative to body mass is greater for borrowers than it is for humans, because bone strength is determined by cross-sectional area (length squared) and body mass is determined by volume (length cubed). Therefore, body mass decreases faster than bone strength. This same idea can also be applied to muscle tissue, meaning borrowers’ muscles become stronger relative to their body mass as borrowers are scaled down. For example: a borrower 1/18th the height of a human would have 1/(18x18)th the bone strength and muscle strength, and 1/(18x18x18)th the body mass. This means they are relatively 18 times more durable and stronger than humans. Bone strength correlates to durability and muscle strength correlates to strength. This concept also explains why ants are able to lift 50x their body weight.

This increase in muscle strength, other than increasing borrower’s raw strength, will also allow borrowers to jump higher and move more quickly.

More reasons why real-life borrowers would be comparatively way faster than humans has to do with shorter neural distances, less inertia, and relativity to size. First, the distance between the borrower’s brain to their hand, foot, legs, etc is way smaller than it is for humans. This means that their brain is incredibly more efficient when it comes to sending signals to parts of the body, increasing borrowers’ reflexes and coordination. Also, their legs would be able to move faster because muscle contraction time is less. Muscles work by contracting, and smaller animals’ muscles are able to contract faster relative to their body size because their muscle fibers are shorter and therefore electrical signals and chemical reactions move through them more quickly.

To explain how less inertia helps borrowers move faster, lets reflect on the most basic physics principle: force = mass x acceleration. Mass and acceleration are inversely proportional, therefore someone with a smaller mass needs less force to reach the same acceleration. To put it simply, a greater inertia makes it harder for somebody to overcome momentum. Because borrowers have almost no inertia compared to humans (body mass is directly proportional to inertia), they would have to put in almost no force to accelerate quickly, take sharp turns without losing balance, stop quickly, and jump high. This is because they are able to overcome momentum very easily. Think about how squirrels or mice are able to dart around very quickly.

Almost done! Lastly, I just wanted to mention genetics. While strength and speed are greatly impacted by someone’s own exercise routine and diet, the genetic lottery can also have a say in someone’s athleticism. For example, the way somebody’s fat is distributed after they eat and the efficiency of their metabolism are often hereditary traits. I would assume that after generations upon generations of training in the walls, staying in great physical shape, and an unhealthy/unreliable diet has led borrowers to perfect their metabolism within their genes to suit their needs. I believe they would have a very slow metabolism so they could store their energy for longer and go longer without eating. I also believe their borrower’s fat would naturally be stored in places on their body to keep them warm, for example their joints.

Fun fact: the odd haircut poodles are famous for is a result of competitive swimming. Poodles were often raced in the water, so they were shaved all the way down to make them faster. However, people kept the fluff on their joints to keep poodles warm while leaving the smallest amount of fur as possible.

Okay, I got a little off topic but do with that information as you will. In conclusion, borrowers should be scientifically faster, stronger, more durable, and more agile than humans (comparatively). Imagine a borrower darting around on the floor in a blur, or jumping onto areas taller than them and off ledges ten times their height. I hope this was as interesting to you as it was to me! I appreciate everyone who took the time to read this it makes me feel super good when people like the same stuff as me. If you want to learn more borrower science, please vote below on what I should research next:

Timothée Chalamet Natal Chart Reading

With a restless mind, Mercury conjunction Uranus, Timothée needs mental stimulation, because Mercury and Uranus speak of the mental, the intellect. He can have a very quick mind, he absorbs and understands things very easily, he is always looking for new information, maybe he tends to read a lot, but he may not like long books, as his Mercury is also in conjunction with Mars, which talks about things that can be done quickly. This aspect also denotes that he is abrupt at times, perhaps people who have a slower thought process bother him, as he has great mental agility.

As his ascendant is in Virgo, it’s ruler, Mercury, makes important aspects in his chart, this denotes that he likes to be on the move, it’s very important for him to be able to flow through different places and different people (Mercury conjunction Uranus + Venus in Aquarius). He is very easy to communicate with, his speech is fluent (Mercury conjunction Neptune) and he is eloquent when explaining his ideas (Sun conjunction Jupiter).

Knowledge is very important for him, as well as traveling, as it’s a way of elevating his spirit. He seeks to improve himself, elevate his soul, make it greater(Sun conjunction Jupiter + Mercury conjunction Neptune). This Sun/Jupiter connection has a very strong presence in his chart, this conjunction brings good humor, high-spirit and strong moral and ethical principles, whatever they may be.

There is a side to Chalamet, however, that he keeps to himself, perhaps he was very sensitive when it came to love, since from an early age romantic encounters were very important to him (Saturn in the 7th house), he has suffered a lot though, especially with Moon in Pisces in the 8th house, as he tended to to idealize others, suffering great disappointments when reality came to light. However, as he is going through his Saturn return, it’s likely that he is maturing when it comes to romantic relationships. Love is now a very serious matter, which he truly commits to, investing a lot of himself.

His Venus being in Aquarius shows that he feels very good in a crowd, he likes being around people, it brings a certain pleasure to his soul; also, like it or not, he has something that makes him different, be it his features, his manner, or the way he acts. He enjoys studying (Venus in Aquarius + Moon sextile Mercury + Mercury conjunction Mars, Neptune and Uranus), I think he was an excellent student, maybe everyone liked him, especially with the Sun being in the 5th house, perhaps his teachers loved his presence, his dedication. Speaking of the 5th house, the strongest house in his chart, Timothée has a gigantic stellium in it. In this life he came to attract attention, to express himself genuinely, to bring lightness, joy, creativity to others and to himself. Because he has powerful aspects in this house, in the sign of Capricorn, he will be remembered as someone very important, loved, intelligent and his artistic ability will be remembered long after he is gone. He will pass away doing what he likes, it’s very unlikely that he will retire, he will always have vigor and that shine of his, even in his more mature years, 50/60/70 (Sun, Mercury, Mars, Neptune and Uranus in the 5th house in Capricorn).

He is very strategic, perhaps from a very early age Timothée knew what he wanted to be when he grew up, he was/is very attached to his mother (Moon in Pisces, in the 8th house), he inherited/will inherit many of her characteristics, perhaps he knows a secret of hers(Pluto in the 4th house). There is something at the beginning of Timothée's life that is intriguing, perhaps there is some conflict, some not-so-friendly situation, perhaps it’s the secret as I said, perhaps it’s something that he has noticed since he was very young, something within the family, that leaved him/made him uncomfortable. But in any case, he is emotionally intense, mainly due to the Moon in Pisces in the 8th house + Pluto in the 4th house + Moon sextile Mars and Neptune + Moon trine Pluto. He has a very rich intimate universe, when he loves he shows it (Sun conjunct Jupiter + Mercury conjunction Neptune), he is always going through a process of internal revitalization, stirring his own depths (Moon in the 8th house trine Pluto). Timothée feels the people around him, his intuition is sharp, he knows how to navigate people (especially with Mercury aspecting Neptune) because he has this “warmth” (5th house), dealing with them, winning them over.

It would be obvious if I said that he has talent for acting, but I will say it anyway, as it’s written/underlined/printed in Timothée's chart and this is made clear by the stellium he have in the 5th house, of the arts, of stage, the house ruled by Leo. He has a lively personality, which captivates people, this is the Sun in the 5th house, people take him seriously because he strictly fulfills what he promises, Sun + Mercury + Mars in Capricorn.

Commitments are very important to him. He generally doesn't make excuses when it comes to the things he wants, he goes out there and make it happen (Sun, Mars and Mercury in Capricorn). He doesn't stand still, either things happen or he searches for something to do, being restless, curious, hyperactive. He is also very skilled at convincing people to do what he wants, he has the power of persuasion and it’s very strong (Mercury conjunct: Mars, Uranus and Neptune). He is also very honest (Mercury conjunction Mars + Sun conjunction Jupiter), sometimes he can give his opinion without being asked to, which can be considered as intrusion to some.

From an early age he set up strategies to get where he wanted, because with the Sun + Mercury + Mars in Capricorn, he already knew which mountain he would have to climb, and today/in the future, he is/will be reaping the fruits of his work. He is very independent: Mars in Capricorn made him always want to have autonomy over his destiny, to have control over himself, over his life. With Venus in Aquarius in the 6th house he cares about his friends, he is always giving advice to them, or has a lot of contact with them, they are part of his routine, whether through messages or in physical presence. Romance is very important in Timothée's life, it makes him feel good, it’s essential to his identity, Sun in the 5th house, as he likes the feeling of fun, happiness, the lightness that it brings (Mercury in the 5th house) to his heart. The area of romantic relationships is one that he does not like to lose/feel like a loser in, in the sense that he invests a lot of energy into romantic relationships (Mars in the 5th house) to have to lose his loved one or not truly have them; however, just like in his life in general, he doesn't like a stagnant, fixed love life, where he can always predict what will happen, news and movement are essential things to keep his Venus in Aquarius satisfied.

He has a good ability to remember things, to remember all the little details about his loved ones, what they said in the past, Moon sextile Neptune + Mercury conjunction Neptune, also he has a great ability to memorize, be it long texts or just some random information. He has a lot of charisma (Sun + Mercury + Mars + Neptune + Uranus in the 5th house), people in general consider him very dear, it’s difficult to have enemies or people declared his enemies. He is much appreciated by the young female audience (Venus in Aquarius + Midheaven in Taurus, despite Gemini being mostly all over his 10th house). Timothée can entertain people with ease: Sun + Mercury in the 5th house. In the search of transcending oneself for the better, pleasure, happiness, the capacity for artistic creation, as well as self-expression, these are the key words for reading the natal chart of Timothée Chalamet.

Physics of Monkey D. Luffy

This post contains physics information about the Straw Hat, Monkey D. Luffy.

Luffy's entire body is rubber because he ate the Gum-Gum Devil Fruit, and everything bounces off him (or perhaps he bounces off it). His body is a slender build, allowing him running speed other characters may not have. He's agile and flexible, and can stretch every part of his body.

Since he is made of rubber, Luffy is completely immune to lightning, because rubber is a lightning insulator.

I'm going to cover his base abilities, his gears, his attacks and explain how he does it all with the principles of physics.

What is "Agile" anyway?

So...

I feel like my posts are best when I write about things on my mind. And because of my job, "dark agile" and "dark scrum" have been a lot on my mind. "Dark" basically is used to mean "Subversive" or "Pretending to do X, but in fact doing to opposite.

Dark design for example, refers to design that is worse for the users ( Making it harder to say no to cookies than yes for example).

But to talk about dark agile, I have to explain what agile actually is. I also want to do this because agile is super simple. But if you ever want to see a LOT of successful scamming, check out business management consulting. A LOT of people have a vested interest in making it sound a lot more complicated than it is and/or ignore what it actually is in favor of telling companies what they want to hear.

Agile is short for "Agile software development"

First, understanding the problem agile solves:

Small companies can change what they are doing, and how they are doing it really quickly. They are also very good at listening to their developers and put their good ideas into practice.

As companies grow larger, they quickly lose these abilities.

Agile, is a way to keep those abilities in a larger company. This is done by giving each development team freedom to develop however they want ( not WHATever they want ), and to give them as direct a line as possible to whoever is the decision maker for the thing they are developing, which allows them to change what they are developing very quickly, but in a way that still leaves that decision maker happy.

Or in other words, encourage worker empowerment and grassroot organization ( Can you guess why companies REALLY try hard to not actually do agile? :p )

That's it. That is agile... as in, all of it.

You can read the agile manifesto and the agile principles, which flushes out what exact values agile is trying to achieve, but you basically already have all the info

If you are thinking "But what about Scrum?", scrum is a proposed tool to achieve agile. It is not agile, nor is it part of agile. Agile is a goal. Scrum is a tool that may help a company reach that goal.

Bowynn Gods: Maenna

A Troop of goddesses standing before Maeanna

Maenna  (Main-nah)  Maenna, sometimes spelled and pronounced Maeanna, is the Bowynn goddess of order, law, truth, justice, just victories and balance in the pantheon. Created by Bia itself, she is the godly incarnate of Bia. Considered so blessed, all other gods honor her, including Anhur, King of the gods himself.

     There are no sacred stories of Maenna, as she cannot be persuaded to take a view or hold a view over another. When Ahnur holds court or stands in at a mortal hearing, Maenna is in attendance as well, Even if Ahnur is not present himself. In some way, Maeanna is Anhur's balance in this aspect. She is there to make sure truth is revealed, that justice is done, and balance is restored to those when a crime or injustice has been committed on.  Maenna, like Bia itself, represents the ethical and moral principle that every Bowynn citizen is expected to follow throughout their daily lives. They are expected to act with honor and truth in manners that involve the 7 virtues, family, the community, the nation, the environment, and the gods. Maenna as a principle was created by Bia to meet the complex needs of the emergening Bowynn tribes that embraced diverse peoples with conflicting interests. The development of such rules sought to avert chaos and it became the basis of Bowynn law. It was all this that Maenna taught the first tribes during her 7 days with them. From an early period the 7 tribal chiefs would describe themselves as the "council of Maenna" who decreed with their wisdom came directly from Maenna. Maenna represented the normal and basic values that formed the backdrop for the application of justice that had to be carried out in the spirit of truth and fairness.

     The goddess Maenna was more than just a goddess. She came to represent the concept of balance and order because many Bowynn needed to explain the balance of the world around them. Everything about their culture was centered on order and everything had its place in the world. This included religion, governmental affairs, and seasonal changes. Maenna is also known as the goddess of justice and truth. Her teachings can be compared to the conscience of a person. It’s reasonable to say that Maenna’s teachings aided the people into being good individuals. It was considered a crime against Maenna if a person practiced jealousy, dishonesty, gluttony, laziness, injustice, and ungratefulness.

     Maenna is depicted is a tall woman of motherhood age. Agile and regal in appearance. Sometimes depicted winged, her wings are massive and pure white. It is said when her wings are out right, the light of justice shines. It is Maenna's wings and light that attendants swear by before attending court. Maenna is seen with a crown of apple leaves (most sacred tree of the Bowynn faith) and in turn, when new judges are appointed, they too are crowned with apple leaf wreathes. In godly form she is seen with long flowing white robes and a white hladd over and a staff in her hands. In her totem form she takes the appearance of a white swan. Sacred gifts to the goddess come in the form of incense, flowers, herbs and crowns of apple leaves.

Daniel Justin Corrieri on Harnessing Innovation to Create Sustainable Business Growth

In today’s fast-evolving marketplace, businesses are under constant pressure to innovate—not just to stay ahead, but to survive. But what does it really mean to innovate sustainably? According to Daniel Justin Corrieri, a strategic leader known for his forward-thinking approach and people-first mindset, sustainable business growth isn’t just about rapid expansion—it’s about building with purpose, adapting with agility, and scaling with integrity.

Innovation: More Than Just New Ideas

“Innovation isn’t about chasing every shiny new tool,” Daniel says. “It’s about identifying what actually moves the needle in a meaningful way.”

For Daniel, innovation begins with a deep understanding of customer needs, industry gaps, and long-term value. This means going beyond short-term gains and focusing on solutions that not only solve current problems but also anticipate future challenges. His methodology blends design thinking, cross-functional collaboration, and a constant feedback loop to drive iterative, measurable improvements.

Sustainable Growth: Building Resilience Into the Business Model

What sets Daniel’s perspective apart is his insistence on aligning innovation with sustainability—both environmental and organizational. “Growth should never come at the expense of your people, your planet, or your principles,” he explains.

Daniel advocates for a model where growth is steady, systems are scalable, and teams are empowered. This often includes leveraging technology not just for automation or efficiency, but for transparency, insight, and long-term strategy. For example, he highlights the importance of using data analytics not just to track KPIs, but to inform strategic pivots and predict market shifts before they happen.

Culture as a Catalyst for Innovation

At the heart of Daniel’s leadership philosophy is culture. He believes the most innovative companies are not those with the biggest R&D budgets—but those with the most adaptable teams. “You can’t innovate in a silo,” he says. “You need a culture that encourages experimentation, embraces failure, and celebrates learning.”

He encourages organizations to foster psychological safety—where employees feel empowered to speak up, share ideas, and challenge the status quo without fear of retribution. This type of inclusive environment often unlocks hidden potential, fuels creativity, and allows innovation to emerge organically at every level of the organization.

A Long-Term Vision

Daniel also cautions against short-sighted strategies that prioritize immediate returns at the expense of lasting value. “Real innovation is patient,” he notes. “It requires you to look five, ten, even fifteen years ahead—and make decisions today that your future business will thank you for.”

This kind of thinking requires courage, clarity, and commitment. But for those willing to take the long view, the rewards are immense: brand trust, operational resilience, and a competitive edge that’s hard to replicate.

Final Thoughts

Daniel Justin Corrieri’s approach to sustainable business growth is rooted in a powerful belief: that innovation isn’t about disruption for disruption’s sake. It’s about designing smarter, operating cleaner, and growing with intention. His insights serve as a timely reminder that the most enduring success stories are written not by those who move the fastest, but by those who move the wisest.

This is being considered as big data and NOSQL decade for software industry. Most of new software development is happening using NOSQL database. There are many NOSLQ Databases however MongoDB is the most popular choice due to being highly scalable open source & free NOSQL database option. Many high volume web applications and mobile applications are designed using MongoDB as a backend database. In this article we are going to cover all high level details you need to know about MongoDB and its usage. You may also want to check some good MongoDB books to learn and become a Mongo DB expert. Everlasting Popularity of MongoDB Explained Traditional databases have long been built on a singular architecture of Database -> Table -> Row/column -> table join. This led to expressive query-based languages (such as MySQL), uniformity, and facility for secondary indexes. However it lacks on a few crucial fronts – factors that can drive the success of your application or website. The interesting thing about MongoDB is that, as against traditional table structure in relational databases, MongoDB uses dynamic schemas (BSON). This ensures a more agile, nimble, and fast database - a much needed trait in today’s technology landscape where data is huge, time is short, risk is bigger, and cost needs to shrink every time. History of MongoDB The company, MongoDB Inc, first rolled out the service in October 2007 as a small component of a product platform. But within 2 years, it was transitioned to open source development approach. Ever since, it continues to be embraced by scores of websites and applications as a preferred backend software. What is MongoDB? Developed over C++, MongoDB is a wildly popular open source NoSQL database. Its cross-platform architecture provides immense utility and versatility to programmers who want to make us of a document oriented open source database. Mongo DB Popularity on Google Search Below is a snapshot of google search trends that show popularity of MongoDB has been growing in past few years. Why is MongoDB So Popular? It is not for no reason that business behemoths like eBay, Craigslist, or Foursquare depend on MongoDB. There are many compelling success factors that ensure that MongoDB continues to enjoy top billing as the world’s fourth most loved database. Let’s look at some of these – Huge volume of data? Bring it on! Imagine having millions of records to be stored, accessed, processed or shared in real time. With Big Data throwing curve balls every single day, MongoDB is the one database that can handle such large data with absolute ease. One practical example we see is Craigslist that uses MongoDB as a backend. It sees about 80-82 million advertising classifieds posted every month from across 70 countries. As such, its repositories gets populated pretty quickly. MongoDB not only handles this sheer size of data, but also helps in timely archiving and access to data across 700 different sites. Schema less architecture and sharding Because of its document based architecture, MongoDB features one collection (just like a table). This scale-out architecture adds value at multiple levels over the monolithic architecture of MySQL. It also helps to be better aligned with OOP principles. When it comes to load balancing, MongoDB uses horizontal scaling with help of sharding (storing data on multiple machines for efficient usage). You can add machines to balance your load needs and prevent any overload on a single machine. With sharding comes the issue of synchronization – something that is actually a non-issue, with the powerful replication facility provided by MongoDB. Replication helps redundancy and improves availability of the most up to date data. The combination of sharding and replication also comes in handy when recovering from a catastrophic IT failure or interruptions in services. Quick to set up and deployment MongoDB presents a very quick setup and deployment time. This not only helps client business to ramp up faster, but also helps them delight their customers with their agility and speed.

A good example is Forbes, which used MongoDB to come up with a simultaneous web CMS and mobile site. While the web CMS came up in two months only, the mobile site was ready in just 30 days. Better for your business Taking the above example of Forbes website, the publishing company took up the step of overhauling their content management systems. When the mobile site and website CMS came up, it managed to create a lasting impression on the minds of its users – prime being the fast access and speedy content delivery facility. As a result (to quote MongoDB’s words) “Overnight, mobile traffic jumped from 5% to 15% of Forbes.com total traffic, and quickly ramped to 50%”. In addition to the revenue increase, it also helped cut down on cost overheads by keeping just one full time and one part time IT person for the mobile website. High Performance Persistent data is handled smartly by MongoDB, thus leading to a high performance backend. It enables this in two distinct ways Embedding data in single structure. The schema is known as ‘denormalized’ model and is successful because of the BSON enabled document-like structure. Because of this, the I/O operations on the database system is reduced dramatically, leading to faster working backend. Using the ‘ensureIndex’ function, a field being indexed will return a result at just 8%-10% of the time taken for querying and searching every document in a collection of the MongoDB database. This is a vital time saving advantage. Indexing also provides the facility to include keys from embedded objects or arrays. Why Pick MongoDB? As is evident, express setup, huge data handling capacity, and horizontal scaling ability, are three key advantages that work highly in favor of MongoDB. This makes it an apt open source backend system to use for today’s times where content management delivery, data hubs, social media, big data, cloud computing, and mobility, have generated colossal volume of dynamic data. Where can we use MongoDB? If your data is too complex to be queries on a relational database If there are high occurrences of denormalizing the database schema If there are high occurrences of programming involved to tweak performance If your inputs are in form of BSON documents or serialized arrays If you want to store documents irrespective of the relation If pre-defining the schema or structure is not possible  Where should we NOT use MongoDB? If you need ACID compliance then MongoDB will not be a right choice. Also because of inherent limitations associated with a 32-bit system, MongoDB doesn’t perform well here, and instead recommends a 64-bit architecture. To sign off MongoDB has proven its mettle handling incredibly huge data. With its schema less architecture and zero relational dependency, it has sustained at a leadership position as a NoSQL database of choice for today’s companies who want to surge ahead of competition with fast, agile and scalable application and websites.
