The document discusses a talk given by Mitch Pirtle about using PHP, Lithium, and MongoDB together. It provides background on Mitch and what he will cover, including an introduction to MongoDB and Lithium. Some key benefits of using Lithium with MongoDB are that Lithium does not force relational practices and encourages using MongoDB's flexible document model. The talk concludes with providing some resources for learning more about Lithium and PHP filters.

- 14. Benefit: Environments Separate configuration Better integration Better workflow for development
- 15. Benefit: Connections Uses environments Multiple database types Multiple database connections Yes, these are concurrent
- 16. Benefit: Collections Specifically for document databases Embedded data/lists No schema definition required
- 17. Benefit: Plugins Everything is a plugin Even Lithium is a plugin
- 18. Benefit: Filters Lithium takes advantage of, and encourages the use of filters http://php.net/manual/ en/book.filter.php

- 20. Why Lithium + MongoDB? You don’t have to define the schema in your models. Read that first one again. Lithium does not force relational practices on your data. Namespaces, chaining, filters, closures...
