What is the best way to implement the mongodb structure?

Question

MongoDB

Hello, such a question: "For example, I have 1.000.000 users on the service. And every day the total number of messages reaches 1.000.000. What is the best way to implement the database structure:
1) When registering a user, automatically create a collection for him?
2) Store all messages (in a year there will be about half a billion of them) in one collection, for example messages"?

Answer 1

In one, of course, do not invent tricks, read the monga documentation section about data modeling https://docs.mongodb.org/v3.0/core/data-modeling-i... and create indexes. So it will be much more convenient to work with data, search for it, backup and manipulate it.
