No, MongoDB is not a graph database. MongoDB is a general-purpose document database with graph traversal capabilities.
Most applications will require a general-purpose database like MongoDB. Some applications will also require graph capabilities. In those cases, MongoDB's $graphLookup may provide sufficient graph capabilities, providing developers with the simplicity of using a single database. Other applications will require more advanced graph capabilities that are currently only available in a dedicated graph database. In those cases, a graph database can be coupled with a general-purpose database like MongoDB.
MongoDB's $graphLookup aggregation pipeline stage can be used to traverse graphs. For applications that require more advanced graph capabilities, a general-purpose database like MongoDB can be coupled with a dedicated graph database.
