Mongodb collection update patterns -

i have collection in db(e.g. merchants) gets updated regularly in prod. have db population script run every time.

this removes configuration collections , inserts them again based on data in script e.g. includes update merchant config.

db.merchants.remove({}); db.merchants.insert(themerchant); 

is there better pattern/procedure people use this? cant seem find guidance on how people doing in production. links methods people use great.

e.g. in sql server create patches
