Most popular relational databases today support “ACID” properties – Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability. Developers and DBAs (Database Administrators) working with databases have a good understanding of ACID behavior.

However, when working with NoSQL databases like MongoDB cloud, there are some key differences that are important for you to understand. MongoDB offers great flexibility in storage, schema, and scaling but relaxes some of the ACID properties. It’s essential to understand the differences as you model your data and execute MongoDB commands.
