- Rediff News uses MongoDB for its publishing system to manage the lifecycle of articles, store article metadata and roles, acquire external feeds, enable tagging and notifications, and power search and data visualization on maps. - The system allows users to upload Excel data, match it to map attributes, generate articles using data science insights, and visualize data on interactive maps. - Rediff's architecture uses POJOs to define schemas, custom collections to store different data types, and a REST layer to expose data resources and abstract storage from applications.
