    Day-to-day CRUD looks simple — until you hit production load. These are the habits that keep your app fast and your bills low.

    Understanding the topic

    • Always project the fields you actually need.
    • Always limit() list queries.
    • Use update operators, never full document replacement.
    • Batch with bulkWrite when possible.
    • explain() every new query.
