# Database

A schema-driven data layer on top of MongoDB.

The **Database** module gives your project a schema-driven data layer on top of MongoDB — structured collections with validation, a full CRUD + query API, record-level triggers, taxonomies, saved aggregations, and CSV imports. You host MongoDB (or use a managed Flex cluster); Norbix owns the schema layer and the API surface.
