How are document fields indexed in parse-server?

Question

Are they ALL indexed by default? Should I index them? If so, how? By directly talking to mongodb?

Thanks!

When you use parse-server you must maintain the DB indexes on your own.

Parse.com did it for you but since parse.com shut down their service and open source it (parse-server) you need to maintain the indexes on your own.

You have multiple options to create indexes in MongoDB:

1. via MongoDB shell
2. via MongoDB client tools (e.g. Compass, Robomongo etc.)
3. via code

The must easiest option is 2
