This document discusses analytics with NoSQL databases. It begins by defining different types of analytics like alerting, getting insights, and transforming data. It then discusses challenges like having lots of data in many formats from different sources. It provides examples of real-time analytics like credit card fraud detection and collaborative filtering. It argues that MongoDB is useful for analytics because it allows for horizontal scalability, flexibility to add new data, and high performance for ingesting and serving operational analytics. Specific use cases discussed include retail price optimization, smart grid analytics, mobile analytics, and financial customer insights. It concludes that analytics now require integrating real-time context and that MongoDB can help process data where it lands more flexibly.
