Three great talks at this month's MongoDB User Group!

Small Data!! (Just) 30 Minutes of MongoDB war-stories

Tejaswi Nadahalli, VP of Engineering at Visual Revenue will speak about how they use Mongo for everything. And they mean, everything. Expect to see some design, code, ideas, EC2-stories, the now-common 'gotcha' slide, and anything that can stimulate discussion.

Startup Advice for MongoDB

Dan Spinosa, CTO & Co-Founder of Shelby t.v. - is a tinkerer and a hacker, has been my whole life.  Now he can call myself a full-stack developer.  That's especially useful as a lone technical founder in a bootstrapped startup, which is how he learned mySQL.

Not quite a mySQL expert, Dan built his current startup on Mongo.  It was the absolute right call.  But there a handful of things he learned going from beginner to advanced-intermediate that would have super helpful back in February.  I'll be telling those stories...

  • Document design != Schema design (No Joins, SRSLY!)
  • Replication FTW Replication FTW
  • Masochistic Indexing (aka --notablescan)
  • Performance Tuning for busy people
  • Sharding

MongoDB + Django: Evolution without Migration

Dan Crosta, Python web application Developer at 10gen will be speaking about Django.  Do you love Django, but hate schema migrations? Need to scale to more than a  few gigabytes of data? Tired of flattening your data, only to have  your code rebuild the hierarchy? This talk will show you how you can leave JOINs behind and embrace MongoDB for your next Django project. MongoDB's hierarchical document-oriented design makes it a natural fit for web development, and when coupled with Python's easy-going nature, using MongoDB with Django is a breeze. In this talk, learn about MongoDB, the most popular NoSQL database; MongoEngine and friends, the Djangonic MongoDB adapter; and watch as we build a highly-scalable online game before your very eyes."
