tweets-docker-pipeline VS MongoDB

First, I created an app on Twitter and got my credentials (API key and Access Token). Then, I wrote the Python code for streaming live tweets, using tweepy with my Twitter credentials. I chose to stream the hashtag #OnThisDay (thought it would be interesting to get a daily notification of what happened years ago) and collected the tweet text and user handle.

I was really excited, though also a bit overwhelmed by all the things I had to set up for this project. In total, I spent five days learning the tools, debugging, and building this pipeline with Python (including libraries like Tweepy, TextBlob, VADER, and SQLAlchemy), Postgres, MongoDB, Docker, and Airflow (most frustrating part...). If you're interested to see how I did this, you can check out the project on GitHub and read this blog post.

Data Handling: Utilizes Windmill for data pipelines, with a primary database powered by PostgreSQL. Auxiliary data storage is handled by MongoDB, with Redis for caching to optimize performance

MongoDB

First, visit MongoDB Atlas and create an account, or sign in if you already have one. This article will guide you through the process of creating a MongoDB account. You should be redirected to your dashboard once you have completed the process. Locate the Connect button and click it.

On the other hand, NoSQL databases are non-relational databases. They store data in flexible, JSON-like documents, key-value pairs, or wide-column stores. Examples include MongoDB, Couchbase, and Cassandra.

I built each API with Node.js, Express, and Docker. Services connected to a NoSQL MongoDB database.

In edge computing, managing time series blob data efficiently is critical for performance-sensitive applications. This blog post will compare ReductStore, a specialized time series database for unstructured data, and MongoDB, a widely-used NoSQL database.

MongoDB to store our data as documents, close to JS objects

MongoDB: Known for its ease of development and strong community support, MongoDB is effective in scenarios where flexible schema and rapid iteration are more critical than strict ACID compliance.

Ensure you have MongoDB installed for data storage. You can download MongoDB Community Server from MongoDB's official website or use the cloud cluster.
