What I shared at MongoNYC (and what I learned!)
MongoNY was an awesome event. Although it was a bit beginner-focused, it’s worth going to a Mongo event if you’re thinking of using MongoDB.
Of course, I’m biased, since I was speaking. :) Tumblr won’t let me embed the iframe of my slides, but they’re at http://bit.ly/chartbeatmongo Also, hopefully, the video will be up at http://www.10gen.com/event_mongony_10may21 soon?
One of the most useful talks was the one about administering Mongo, which demystified some of the stats output and also recommended using ext4 or XFS (oops with our ext3!) and also (I’m not quite sold) suggested using 1 database per volume and multiple databases instead of RAID 0 striping. Notes here.
