Full-Auto Mongo: Taking the Pain out of Deploying and Scaling MongoDB in the Cloud
Tobias Kunze, Makara
Deploying MongoDB can be tedious and error-prone without even thinking about sharding or backups. A minimum of 3 nodes must be created. Config servers must be started on each. Routers must then be started to configure these config servers. At this point, we can finally start shard servers, create replica sets, and finally create shards with each replica set. Then rinse, lather, and repeat every time you want to scale up or down. But, still you have no monitoring, and as we've all learned, this unnecessarily increases our exposure to the risk of dramatic and extended outage. Makara has set out to end this misery. This hands-on talk will show you how to automate deployment, scaling, and monitoring for MongoDB in the cloud. By the end of this talk, you will be well on your way to MongoDB nirvana!
