The Future Is Better With MongoDB
We'll have two presentations this month. One from Nick Patrick, CEO & co-founder of Radar, & a second from Baron Schwartz, author of High Performance MySQL & CEO & co-founder VividCortex. Come join us for food, drinks & more MongoDB!
Using MongoDB at Radar
Radar is the location platform for mobile apps. They make it easy for you to create geofences, track users, & receive events based on location. The geo-aware support you need in your application might take weeks to build on your own, but can take a few minutes with Radar.
At this month's user group, Radar co-founder & CEO Nick Patrick will share how they use MongoDB at Radar to make it easy for developers to collect, analyze, & act on location data. Radar uses MongoDB's Geospatial indexing to power their service & will discuss some of the do's & don'ts around geospatial indexing to provide optimal map performance for their end customers.
The Future Is Better With MongoDB
It's been nearly 10 years since MongoDB burst onto the scene. In that time many NoSQL databases have come & gone, but MongoDB continues to accelerate. I've spent much of my career in other databases, but I've always been drawn to MongoDB because it appeals to my instinctive sense of how things could be better. What is it about MongoDB that's such a great experience as a developer & operator? And what characteristics does a mature, production-ready database need in addition to delighting users/operators? In this talk you'll learn how I think about databases, how I evaluate a database's maturity & stability, what pattern-matching I apply with MongoDB, & why I'm so bullish on NoSQL & MongoDB.
