With foursquare's growing popularity, we were fast approaching the point where it would no longer be feasible to store user checkins on a single physical machine. MongoDB's auto-sharding capabilities enabled us to easily transition to a multi-node cluster that will enable us to continue to grow for the foreseeable future.

This session is a deep dive into the implementation of sharding within MongoDB. We'll review the MongoDB's sharding architecture, which blends ideas from RDBMSes, key/value stores, and large distributed systems like BigTable. We'll then take a look under the hood to show how queries work across a sharded set up, and how data is balanced and migrated.
