How can I optimize my MongoDB queries using Mongoose indexing?

You can optimize your MongoDB queries by creating indexes on fields that are frequently queried. Mongoose provides a simple way to define indexes in your schema.

What types of indexes can I create in Mongoose?

In Mongoose, you can create single-field indexes, compound indexes, text indexes, and geospatial indexes, depending on your query needs.

How do I create a compound index in Mongoose?

To create a compound index, you can use the index method in your schema definition. For example: schema.index({ field1: 1, field2: -1 });.

Can indexing affect write performance?

Yes, while indexing can significantly improve read performance, it can also slow down write operations because the index needs to be updated with each write.
