Answer
Use small documents, minimize indexes, design evenly distributed shard keys, and use bucketing patterns to reduce write amplification.
Quick Answer
High write throughput schema design: keep documents small (faster to write, more fit in cache), minimize index count (each write updates all indexes), use bulk writes, avoid transactions, use a good shard key to distribute writes. Consider the bucket pattern for time-series (batch multiple measurements into one document to reduce write count). Pre-aggregate counters with $inc instead of inserting individual events.
