    Introduction

    MongoDB lives or dies by working set in RAM. If your hot indexes + frequently accessed docs fit in memory, queries fly. If they spill to disk, latency explodes.

    Best practices

    • Size RAM to fit indexes + working set.
    • Use db.serverStatus().wiredTiger to see cache stats.
