Initial MongoDB Data Layer commit

[Pash10g]

Hello,

Adding a MongoDB type for custom data layer support.

Can someone guide me on how to contribute the docs to incorporate this piece?

Thanks!

It needs a motor depndency, how do I add it into the project?

@Pash10g Thanks for the contrib!

In order to make it easier for developers to contribute data layers, we will soon factor out all data layers (except the ephemeral one and possibly LiteralAI) into a separate project/repo. In this, our first priority would be automated testing (unit tests) to be able to ensure compliance of new backends.

We're still busy doing the architecture on that one, which will take some 2-6 weeks. Until that time, we prefer not to add additional data layers, as every piece of code we add will imply increased maintenance load on our side.

In addition, we prefer to be very cautious in terms of adding dependencies. In addition, given that you are not currently comfortable adding (optional) dependencies, perhaps for the moment it's best to leave your PR as a reference, for now, until we have a straight-forward (and documented) way of integrating your contributions.

Thanks for understanding this, we do value your contribution, just we're focusing at the moment on making contributions overall easier, for everyone while keeping maintenance easier on the maintainer's side. :)
