By Mohd Saqueib July 1, 2017 under Laravel

I have been working on an application which needs to store a lot of metadata about user profile, we discussed with the team about using NoSQL database (MongoDB) since its a JSON data set which can be extended and customized for the specific user profile due to its schemaless structure.
