In prior post How to Integrate MongoDB with Diffusion Cloud, we discussed how Diffusion Cloud’s JSON topics dovetail with MongoDB’s JSON documents, and how in turn a MongoDB collection can be reflected as a branch of JSON topics. This approach gives the end consumer a means of subscribing to a MongoDB collection and changes to it….
