# MongoDB Internals

This document aims to provide a high-level specification for the MongoDB's 
infrastructure to support client/server interaction and process globals. 
Examples for such components are `ServiceContext` and `OperationContext`. 
This is a work in progress and more sections will be added gradually.

## Server-Internal Baton Pattern
