Comprehensive MongoDB Database: E-Commerce Platform

Gain hands-on experience with MongoDB basics through an e-commerce database, exploring collections for users, products, orders, reviews, and categories.

Database structure: E-commerce database

  • Products' details, e.g., their name, price, category, stock status, and ratings.

  • Orders records, e.g., which user bought what and the mode of payment.

  • Product reviews, e.g., who left the review against which product, and comments, if any.
