Encryption Performance in MongoDB
Encryption can have an impact on MongoDB’s performance. Here are some factors to consider and tips to mitigate performance issues:
- CPU Usage: Encryption operations increase CPU usage, as encryption and decryption processes are computationally intensive. Ensure your server has a modern CPU with AES-NI support, which accelerates encryption tasks.
- Latency: Encrypting and decrypting data can add to latency. Optimize your queries and database schema to minimize latency.
- Disk I/O: Encrypted data can be larger due to encryption overhead, which can increase disk I/O operations. Use SSDs to mitigate this impact and ensure faster read/write speeds.
Encrypt and Protect Data in MongoDB
As technology advances so securing sensitive data is increasingly important for organizations. MongoDB a popular NoSQL database that supports strong encryption to protect data from unauthorized access.
In this article, We will learn about how to encrypt data in MongoDB by including data in transit with TLS/SSL and data at rest also how to rotate encryption keys and manage performance impacts in detail.
