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.

What do you need to build your digital strategy? An Agile Lab, few tattooed developers, Macbooks loaded with XCode and Android Studio and MongoDB. Learn how MongoDB played a key role in RBC Wealth’s digital transformation and delivering award winning mobile and web applications.

Query performance can either be a constant headache or the unsung hero of an application. MongoDB provides extremely powerful querying capabilities when used properly. I will share more common mistakes observed and some tips and tricks to avoiding them.

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.

Aggregation pipeline has been able to power your analysis of data since version 2.2. In 4.2 we added more power and now you can use it for more powerful queries, updates, and outputting your data to existing collections. Come hear how you can do everything with the pipeline, including single-view, ETL, data roll-ups and materialized views.

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.
