MongoDB
A particular NoSQL database platform
MongoDB is a particular implementation of a technology known as NoSQL databases.
The basic idea is that you can store JSON objects in the cloud.
Everything else is just sort of a riff on that theme.
Here is a repo that demos MLab in the context of a Spring Boot application:
There is already a lot of info about MongoDB at this other website: http://pconrad-webapps.github.io/topics/mongodb/
- In particular, this page about Java stuff: http://pconrad-webapps.github.io/topics/mongodb_java/
- It also discusses how to get started with MLab which is a particular provider of MongoDB (e.g. Mlab is to MongoDB like github is to git)
