Intro to NoSQL and MongoDB

The database landscape is evolving as new, scalable data stores emerge. Key value stores, large columnar stores, and document-oriented databases offer a compelling alternative to the traditional relational database.

By eschewing traditional assumptions upon which previous databases were built, this new class of non-relational or “NoSQL” solutions gain the ability to scale horizontally. In addition, NoSQL solutions offer interesting alternatives to the traditional relational data model.

This presentation will introduce attendees to the key concepts required to understand and evaluate NoSQL data stores. We’ll explore key differences between the various classes of NoSQL solutions and conclude with an in-depth examination of the document-oriented database MongoDB.

This presentation will cover: Origins of the NoSQL movement An overview of the NoSQL Space Philosophy and creation of MongoDB MongoDB system architecture MongoDB usage examples
