In the earlier chapters of this book, we looked at techniques for reducing the workload demands on the MongoDB server. We considered options for structuring and indexing our datasets and tuning our MongoDB requests to minimize the amount of data that has to be processed in response to a work request. Maybe 80% of the performance gains from performance tuning come from these application-level optimizations.

However, at some point, our application schema and code is as optimized as it is ever going to be, and ...
