Attendees will learn and implement several ways that make a MongoDB clusters run smoothly. This will include replica set, deployment topology, sharding for scale, and performance considerations and insights.

Requirements:

  • A machine with at least 4 GB of RAM
  • At least 8 GB free disk space

Who should attend: 

DBAs, DevOps, and anyone taking on supporting or operating a MongoDB deployment in production.

Take back to work: 
  • An understanding of MongoDB's scale and durability mechanisms
  • How to plan and deploy replica sets and sharded clusters
  • Considerations of availability, performance, and consistency when running Mongo clusters
Topics include: 
  • MongoDB replica sets
  • MongoDB sharding
  • Deployment topology considerations
  • Performance considerations
