MongoDB has been rated as the most wanted database by developers for the 4th consecutive year, according to the Stack Overflow Developer Survey. This recognition is based on nearly 90,000 developer responses that revealed MongoDB's popularity and widespread adoption among software engineers. The survey highlights three key design principles of MongoDB: its document data model, which provides a natural data structure; its distributed systems design, which enables scalability and flexibility; and its run-anywhere capability, which allows developers to deploy the database on their preferred platform without modification. These features have contributed to MongoDB's success and position it as the next-generation database platform of choice.
