I would like to thank everyone at Packt Publishing who have been involved with this book. It started when Luke Presland from Packt Publishing approached me to author a book on MongoDB. I was skeptical to take up the opportunity due to other commitments and tight deadlines, but if it wasn't for my mom, friends, and office colleagues, who convinced me to take up the opportunity, I would not have written this book. The chapters and content to be covered was a lot, and I was having a tough time keeping up with the timelines. A special thanks to Priyanka Shah, Rebecca Pedley, Mary Alex, and Joel Goveya, with whom I interacted the most; they were very flexible to my changes in delivery timelines. A big thanks to Doug Duncan and other reviewers of the book for reviewing the book closely and helping improve the quality of the content drastically. Finally, I would like to thank the other staff at Packt Publishing who were involved in the book's publishing process but haven't interacted with me.
