Join us for the September meeting where Matt Kern will be giving a talk about MongoDB. From the mongodb.org website:
Mongo (from "humongous") is a high-performance, open source, schema-free document-oriented database. MongoDB is written in C++ and offers the following features:
- Collection oriented storage: easy storage of object/JSON -style data
- Dynamic queries
- Full index support, including on inner objects and embedded arrays
- Query profiling
- Replication and fail-over support
- Efficient storage of binary data including large objects (e.g. photos and videos)
- Auto-sharding for cloud-level scalability (currently in early alpha)
- Commercial Support Available
A key goal of MongoDB is to bridge the gap between key/value stores (which are fast and highly scalable) and traditional RDBMS systems (which are deep in functionality).
