At MongoSF (May 4), MongoNYC (May 23), and MongoDB UK (June 20), we are pleased to announce a new, interactive track led by 10gen CTO and Co-Founder Eliot Horowitz. In a series of presentations, Eliot will walk attendees through building a MongoDB-powered chat server. This track will cover:
- Schema design and prototype deployment in the cloud
- Monitoring using MMS, setting up backups, and operating a restore
- Setting up replication for robustness — without any downtime
- Schema design for scaling users
- Using capped collections
- Sharding for write scalability, including the selection of a shard key
Whether you are an experienced MongoDB user or you are building your first app, this track is a great way to learn about important concepts in MongoDB. We expect that this deep-dive will better illustrate schema design trade-offs, scaling, and operations.
