This episode focuses on Performance & Scalability - Designing a high-performance and cost-efficient system requires deep knowledge of MongoDB technologies. As your business grows, so will the demands on your database. If you are wildly successful, you’ll need to scale your minimal-viable-product into a humongous-scalable-product. This scaling journey can have profound impacts on the growth and costs of your business. In this episode we meet 2 colleagues from MongoDB, Ger Hartnett, Lead, Engineering & Xiaochen Wu, Staff Product Manager who take us through an overview of 12 patterns and best practices to help diagnose and scale software applications. 

In this episode, we explore the world of online gaming, or more specifically, online casinos with MrQ, a UK based leader in the online casino space. Since launching in 2018, MrQ has been redefining online casino gaming with one idea in mind: keeping it all fun for their players with an extensive gaming catalog of player favorites. We talk to Iulian Dafinoiu, MrQ’s CTO about their journey from inception, through to launch, the online casino space, how they adhere to their player charter and keep it fun, and of course, their use of MongoDB from the outset, initially on premise and then subsequently, their migration to Atlas, our multi-cloud database service.

In this podcast episode, the host interviews Jay Runkel, Distinguished Solutions Architect at MongoDB, about application-driven analytics. Traditionally, analytics were done in batches by a special-purpose data warehousing analytical tool. However, with app-driven analytics, the application provides real-time visibility into what is happening right now. MongoDB is uniquely positioned in this arena due to its powerful query language and distributed architecture. MongoDB's distributed architecture allows users to dedicate certain nodes to analytics and other nodes to operational queries. MongoDB's Atlas platform also allows users to easily add dedicated analytical nodes, which can be configured separately from the nodes that handle operational queries. This is beneficial from a cost perspective because users can choose to allocate resources as needed for different types of queries.

This episode is all about learning, or more specifically, learning on the new relaunched MongoDB University site. For those that have listening to the live podcast episodes from MongoDB .Local London back in November, you will recall how the revamped MongoDB University was one of the major Keynote announcements there. Today, to learn more about this, I’m joined by Eoin Brazil, who was formerly a Curriculum Engineer, and is now a staff engineer here at MongoDB and acts as a Technical Advisor for all MongoDB’s educational programmes. In this role, as we’ll hear, he was closely involved in the design & development of the new MongoDB University and he led the much of the new MongoDB Labs features. So let’s join Eoin, to hear all about it.

Join us for an insightful episode of the MongoDB Podcast where we explore how to optimize cost and performance with data tiering using MongoDB Atlas Online Archive. Our guest, Prem Krishna, Product Manager at MongoDB, shares how developers and operations teams can take advantage of this powerful feature to save money, boost performance, and seamlessly manage their data. You'll learn practical tips and real-world examples of how MongoDB Atlas Online Archive can help you scale your applications with ease, so tune in and get ready to level up your data management game!

The podcast features Michael Lynn as the host, with Ali El Rhermoul, CTO of Beamable, and Nic Raboy, the original host of the podcast. The discussion covers Beamable, which is a company that streamlines game development and deployment. Before the interview, the Michael also speaks with Megan Grant and Shane McAllister about recent content on the MongoDB Developer Center, upcoming MongoDB user group events, and new videos on MongoDB's YouTube channel. They also mention a new e-book focused on the MongoDB aggregation framework, which is available for free download.

On this episode, we speak with not 1, but 3 guests, all solutions architects with MongoDB. Solutions architects help our customers use MongoDB in the best way and our topics today run through the Principles of Data Modelling, our newly announced Relational Migrator Tool, and Client Side Field Level Encryption (CSFLE). Our first guest is James Milles. James talks to us about the Principles of data modelling, the considerations to take into account in defining your data model and he outlines how a data model can evolve over time and the reasons for why and how your data model may change and evolve. After James, we have Anand Sanghani. Anand talks to us about the newly announced MongoDB Relational Migrator (which Mark Porter, MongoDB’s CTO, also talked about in Episode 145) and how it makes it easier for people to work with data, particularly legacy relation technologies and also the challenges they face moving off a relational stack. Finally we have, Pierre Petersson who joins me to talk about Encryption, in particular, MongoDB’s Client Side Field Level Encryption in multi cloud environments. Pierre discusses how MongoDB’s approach helps manage encryption keys in a cloud agnostic way & we briefly dive into queryable encryption which was also announced at MongoDB .Local London.
