🎯 Benefits Achieved
Cross-Device Access
✅ MongoDB Local running on PC
✅ All devices on same network (192.168.10.178) can access
✅ PC, mobile, tablet can connect simultaneously
✅ Real-time data synchronization across all devices
Performance Improvements
✅ Connection pooling (50 connections max)
✅ Automatic indexes on key fields
✅ Faster search with MongoDB text indexes
✅ No more SQLAlchemy connection pool exhaustion
Scalability
✅ Easy to migrate to MongoDB Atlas (cloud) later
✅ Supports sharding and replication (future)
✅ Better handling of concurrent connections
✅ Industry-standard NoSQL database
Maintenance
✅ Simpler data model (JSON documents)
✅ No ORM complexity (direct PyMongo queries)
✅ Cleaner codebase
✅ Better error handling
🚀 Current Status
Backend
- ✅ Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000
- ✅ Running on http://192.168.10.178:5000
- ✅ MongoDB connection stable
- ✅ All API endpoints functional
- ⚠️ One deprecation warning (datetime.utcnow) - non-critical
Frontend
- ✅ No changes needed (API contract maintained)
- ✅ All existing frontend code works unchanged
- ✅ Profiles dropdown populated
- ✅ Songs database view populated
Database
- ✅ MongoDB Community Server installed
- ✅ Running as Windows Service
- ✅ Database:
church_songlyric - ✅ Collections: songs, profiles, plans, profile_songs, plan_songs
📝 Next Steps (Optional Improvements)
Immediate
- ✅ DONE - All core functionality working
- ⚠️ Optional - Fix datetime.utcnow() deprecation warning
- ⚠️ Optional - Add data validation schemas

🔧 Troubleshooting
If Frontend Shows "Offline"
// In browser console:
localStorage.setItem("api_settings", JSON.stringify({
protocol: "http",
hostname: "localhost", // or "192.168.10.178" for mobile
port: "5000",
useLocalStorage: false
}));
location.reload(true);
If Backend Won't Start
# Check MongoDB service
Get-Service MongoDB
# If not running:
Start-Service MongoDB
# Restart backend
cd backend
.\venv\Scripts\python.exe app.py
If Data Missing
# Verify MongoDB has data
cd backend
.\venv\Scripts\python.exe check_mongo_data.py
# If empty, re-run migration
.\venv\Scripts\python.exe migrate_to_mongodb.py
📊 Performance Metrics
Before (SQLite)
- ⚠️ Connection pool exhaustion after ~60 seconds
- ⚠️ 500 errors under sustained load
- ⚠️ Sessions not properly closed
- ⚠️ Single file database (locking issues)
After (MongoDB)
- ✅ No connection pool exhaustion
- ✅ Stable under sustained load
- ✅ Automatic connection cleanup
- ✅ Multi-threaded access without locking
🎓 What You Learned
- Database Migration - Safe data transfer from SQLite to MongoDB
- NoSQL Benefits - JSON documents vs relational tables
- Connection Pooling - Managing database connections efficiently
- API Refactoring - Maintaining backward compatibility
- Cross-Device Architecture - Centralized database for multi-device access

📞 Need Help?
If you encounter any issues:
- Check MongoDB service is running:
Get-Service MongoDB - Verify backend is running on port 5000
- Test API:
Invoke-RestMethod http://localhost:5000/api/health - Check archived files in
backend/._archived_sqlite/if rollback needed
Old SQLite database is safely backed up in the archive folder!
