Production deployment

Editor's Notes

• #11: Here we have greatly reduced the relational data model for this application to two tables. In reality no database has two tables. It is much more common to have hundreds or thousands of tables. And as a developer where do you begin when you have a complex data model?? If you're building an app you're really thinking about just a hand full of common things, like products, and these can be represented in a document much more easily that a complex relational model where the data is broken up in a way that doesn't really reflect the way you think about the data or write an application.
• #13: Rich queries, text search, geospatial, aggregation, mapreduce are types of things you can build based on the richness of the query model.
• #21: High Availability – Ensure application availability during many types of failures Disaster Recovery – Address the RTO and RPO goals for business continuity Maintenance – Perform upgrades and other maintenance operations with no application downtime Secondaries can be used for a variety of applications – failover, hot backup, rolling upgrades, data locality and privacy and workload isolation
• #22: High Availability – Ensure application availability during many types of failures Disaster Recovery – Address the RTO and RPO goals for business continuity Maintenance – Perform upgrades and other maintenance operations with no application downtime Secondaries can be used for a variety of applications – failover, hot backup, rolling upgrades, data locality and privacy and workload isolation

• #26: MongoDB provides horizontal scale-out for databases using a technique called sharding, which is trans- parent to applications. Sharding distributes data across multiple physical partitions called shards. Sharding allows MongoDB deployments to address the hardware limitations of a single server, such as bottlenecks in RAM or disk I/O, without adding complexity to the application. MongoDB supports three types of sharding: • Range-based Sharding. Documents are partitioned across shards according to the shard key value. Documents with shard key values “close” to one another are likely to be co-located on the same shard. This approach is well suited for applications that need to optimize range- based queries. • Hash-based Sharding. Documents are uniformly distributed according to an MD5 hash of the shard key value. Documents with shard key values “close” to one another are unlikely to be co-located on the same shard. This approach guarantees a uniform distribution of writes across shards, but is less optimal for range-based queries. • Tag-aware Sharding. Documents are partitioned according to a user-specified configuration that associates shard key ranges with shards. Users can optimize the physical location of documents for application requirements such as locating data in specific data centers. MongoDB automatically balances the data in the cluster as the data grows or the size of the cluster increases or decreases.
• #27: Sharding is transparent to applications; whether there is one or one hundred shards, the application code for querying MongoDB is the same. Applications issue queries to a query router that dispatches the query to the appropriate shards. For key-value queries that are based on the shard key, the query router will dispatch the query to the shard that manages the document with the requested key. When using range-based sharding, queries that specify ranges on the shard key are only dispatched to shards that contain documents with values within the range. For queries that don’t use the shard key, the query router will dispatch the query to all shards and aggregate and sort the results as appropriate. Multiple query routers can be used with a MongoDB system, and the appropriate number is determined based on performance and availability requirements of the application.

• #61: MMS can do a lot for [ops teams]. Best Practices, Automated. MMS takes best practices for running MongoDB and automates them. So you run ops the way MongoDB engineers would do it. This not only makes it more fool-proof, but it also helps you… Cut Management Overhead. No custom scripting or special setup needed. You can spend less time running and managing manual tasks because MMS takes care of a lot of the work for you, letting you focus on other tasks. Meet SLAs. Automating critical management tasks makes it easier to meet uptime SLAs. This includes managing failover as well as doing rolling upgrades with no downtime. Scale Easily. Provision new nodes and systems with a single click.
