Another podcast (our 3rd) in our live recordings from MongoDB .Local London. This episode, we’ve not one, but two guests - Wojciech & Carlos. Wojciech talks about building a simple trading app - how they work, the algorithmic rules and how he uses both MongoDB TimeSeries and scheduled triggers and how it takes just under 10 minutes to get a basic app up and running. Carlos uses a personal example to explain the power of building applications with MongoDB in particular using Atlas Severless & Atlas App Services. Carlos explains how he builds a complete backend using all MongoDB’s serverless offerings to create his own Triathlete training app.

The Mobile Makers series - In this week's episode, Matt Frances, joins us to talk about his pathway into development and how he built an iOS app both to learn and also to open doors into his development career.

At .local London back in November 2022, some key MongoDB personnel joined as guests on the podcast. This is the 2nd episode and here we've not one, but two guests - Ger Hartnett and Peter Fitch.

With Ger, he talks about how customers scale and also goes briefly into the engineering behind building MongoDB before diving into patterns for tuning MongoDB performance and scalability, in which, due to time constraints, we pick out just 2 to concentrate on - Indexing & Hunting Bottlenecks!

With Peter, it's all about his talk on how to get more out of Aggregations. Peter delves deeper into the possibilities of MongoDB’s Aggregation Framework using real-world examples and illustrates powerful operators that cut down on custom code and reduce time to data insights, and thus maximize developer productivity.

On November 15th, MongoDB held one of it's .Local events in London and we took the chance of having so many key MongoDB personnel in one place to get them as guests on the MongoDB podcast! So, in this first .Local episode we air a live interview with none other than Mr. Mark Porter, CTO of MongoDB.

Today on the show, Lena Smart, Chief Security Officer of MongoDB, and I team up to interview Dwight Merriman, co- founder and key contributor to MongoDB. Dwight Merriman is a true tech legend. In addition to co- founding and co- creating the MongoDB database and 10gen now called MongoDB, the company. He also co- founded and led several other well known successful companies including Business Insider, DoubleClick and Gilt Groupe. In today's interview, Dwight shares openly and honestly about the motivations behind creating the database, which now actually claims nearly half of the entire NoSQL market. He talks about the decision to build the database rather than use something that existed at the time.

Amit Ben, CEO and Co-founder at OneAI discusses his background in technology and his work in building products that understand human language, including chatbots and human language commands. He discusses his previous company, Nano Rep, which provided customer service and sales solutions using language AI, and his role leading global AI for LogMeIn's product portfolio. Amit then discussed the founding of One AI and the decision to build the company's natural language processing capabilities on top of established platforms like MongoDB and cloud providers rather than building from scratch. The goal of One AI is to make it easy for developers to integrate natural language processing into their products with just one line of code.

In this conversation with Mike Lynn and Fernando Moitinho, principal product manager at OutSystems, a company that proposes a low-code solution to reduce the time to market in the development of our web and mobile applications. 

As developers, we use technology to bring solutions to people, many of us writing code building applications, but OutSystems has another solution, one that may provide a swifter path between our user's problems and our solutions.

OutSystems and MongoDB, together helping developers solve problems.
