Auto deletion of documents from mongodb after specified time
I want to auto delete documents from a collection in mongodb based on a ttl. I have gone through other answers and figured out the following way:
db.collection.createIndex( { "createdAt": 1 }, { expireAfterSeconds: 3600 } )
This will delete the documents after expireAfterSeconds interval from createdAt field.
However, the problem with above is that it is not document specific. In the above scenario, all documents will be deleted after 3600 time from creation. However, in my case, each document in the collection needs to be deleted at different time intervals. So, each document need to have its own ttl. How can I achieve this?

You can set specific time for each document for remove. Please check documentation https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/expire-data/ under ‘Expire Documents at a Specific Clock Time’ capter
