A general introduction to MongoDB followed by an interactive session using the MongoDB shell with the emphasis on queries and schema design.

With the exploding number of JSON APIs today, most every web application is a mashup to some degree. MongoDB is the perfect local cache to store and query data from third party systems. We'll consider strategies for modeling, storing, and querying data from popular web services like Twitter including real world examples such as TweetCongress.org, which won a SXSW Web Award for Activism in 2009.

Slides

Schema design is a critical step in making sure an application scales well. There are considerations for reads and writes, both with and without sharding. We'll go through a few use cases and examine how difference schemas impact performance.

With the release of 1.8, MongoDB supports write-ahead journaling of operations to facilitate fast crash recovery and durability in the storage engine. In this session, we'll give an overview of durability with MongoDB, demo journaling, and discuss journaling internals.

B-Trees, Sparse and Covered indexes and how MongoDB uses them still confusing you? In this talk we will dive into the different indexes that are available, how query plans are executed and the internals of index evaluation including understanding of the explain output.

MongoDB is great for storing immense amounts of data, however writing algorithms to process that data in real-time can be difficult. This talk will discuss designing algorithms that can be scaled out horizontally, use MongoDB as data store, run in parallel, and do not lose atomicity. We will walk through a sample algorithm, see it implemented, and view a live demo.

At Famigo, we house all of our valuable data in MongoDB and we also serve all requests from Amazon EC2 instances. We've devoted many mental CPU cycles to finding the right architecture for our data in the cloud, focusing on 3 main factors: cost, reliability, and performance. In this talk, I'll discuss dive into MongoDB replica sets and how they can deliver across all of these areas, when combined with cloud hosting.

Slides

MongoDB supports replication for failover and redundancy. In this session we will introduce the basic concepts around replica sets which provide automated failover and recovery of nodes. We'll show you how to set up, configure, and initiate a replica set, and methods for using replication to scale reads. We'll also discuss proper architecture for durability.

Learn about developing and deploying applications with MongoDB and Cloud Foundry. This session will cover local development and hosted deployment of your application on MongoDB. Learn about using the Cloud Foundry's Services layer, along with setting up more complex development scenarios quickly and easily making it faster to get new applications up and running.

With MongoDB, you can distribute load across multiple servers using auto-sharding. This session will introduce MongoDB's auto-sharding concepts and... how to use them. We'll discuss choosing a shard key, basic architecture concepts, and common usage patterns. We'll close out the session with a few example use cases, including real world sharded deployments.

Slides & Video

This intermediate-level talk will teach you techniques using the popular NoSQL database MongoDB and the Python library Ming to write maintainable, high-performance, and scalable applications. We will cover everything you need to become an effective Ming/MongoDB developer from basic PyMongo queries to high-level object-document mapping setups in Ming.

Slides

That's right: you too can learn to read the omens and ensure that your MongoDB deployment stays in tip-top shape. We'll look at memory usage, file sizes, flushing, journaling, and all the special incantations that reveal MongoDB's true inner self. By the end of the talk, you'll have ten concrete steps you can take to address performance degradation before it happens. You'll also get a few tips on application design and pointers on remote monitoring.
