Most log management solutions store log data in a database and enable search by storing an index of the data. As the database grows in size, so does the index management cost. When companies are handling terabytes of data every day, the database-backed log management system becomes untenable.

MongoDB offers several storage engines that cater to various use cases. The default storage engine in earlier versions was MMAPv1, which utilized memory-mapped files and document-level locking. The newer, pluggable storage engine, WiredTiger, addresses this by using prefix compression, collection-level locking, and row-based storage.
