Hi everyone,
Hello everyone! My name is Kimaya Kapoor
Any developer who uses MongoDB out there?
In which situation you would recommend it to use MongoDB instead of MySQL, or why you wouldn’t recommend it over MySQL?

Welcome to the MongoDB community, @Kimaya_kapoor. We have a comparison article explaining the differences between both databases and why we believe developers should choose MongoDB over MySQL based on various criteria. If you prefer video content, you can also check out this YouTube video. Let me know if these resources provide clarity.
