MongoDB.local Toronto 2019

Are you new to schema design for MongoDB, or are looking for a more complete or agile process than what you are following currently? In this talk we will guide you through the phases of a flexible methodology that you can apply to projects ranging from small to large with very demanding requirements.

Immediate feedback is an essential part of modern application development where developers want to sync across platforms, systems, and users to provide better end-user experiences. Change streams empower developers to easily leverage the power of MongoDB's internal real-time functionality to react to relevant data changes immediately. Change streams also provide the backbone of MongoDB Atlas triggers.

This session introduces change streams and walks you through developing with them. We will discuss use cases, integrating with Kafka, and explore how to make good architectural decisions around this new functionality.

These days, everyone is expected to be a data analyst. But with so much data available, how can you make sense of it and be sure you're making the best decisions? One great approach is to use data visualizations. In this session, we will take a complex dataset and show how the breadth of capabilities in MongoDB Charts can help you turn bits and bytes into insights.

Many applications with high-sensitivity workloads require enhanced technical options to control and limit access to confidential and regulated data. In some cases, system requirements or compliance obligations dictate a separation of duties for staff operating the database and those who maintain the application layer. In cloud-hosted environments, certain data are sometimes deemed too sensitive to store on third-party infrastructure. This is a common pain for system architects in the healthcare, finance, and consumer tech sectors — the benefits of managed, easily expanded compute and storage have been considered unavailable because of data confidentiality and privacy concerns.


This session will take a deep dive into new security capabilities in MongoDB 4.2 that address these scenarios, by enabling native client-side field-level encryption, using customer-managed keys. We will review how confidential data can be securely stored and easily accessed by applications running on MongoDB. Common query design patterns will be presented, with example code demonstrating strong end-to-end encryption in Atlas or on-premise. Implications for developers and others designing systems in regulated environments will be discussed, followed by a Q&A with senior MongoDB security engineers.

Join us for a panel of MongoDB Experts, who will answer any questions you may have about using MongoDB products and features.

A year ago we launched replica-set transactions in MongoDB 4.0. We've now expanded transactions to span across shards, making development against MongoDB even easier. Snapshot isolation, write atomicity, distributed commit – we'll touch on it all. You'll learn all you need to know about distributed transactions before you push to prod.
