MongoDB is a NoSQL database that is well-suited for applications with certain characteristics. It uses a flexible document data model that allows for variable data in objects without sparse tables or complex joins. MongoDB provides low latency access through memory mapping and data locality. It can also scale to handle high read and write throughput through sharding and replication across multiple servers. MongoDB is a good fit for applications that need to store large numbers of objects or be deployed in the cloud.
