Database Trends for Modern Applications: Why the Database You Choose Matters MongoDB
Matt Kalan, Senior Solutions Architect, MongoDB
Matt will explain how modern technology requirements have changed the requirements of the database. In order to handle agile development, big data, cloud, APIs, continuous availability, and unlimited scale while lowering costs, new capabilities are required. Do you need to tolerate the impedance mismatch between an object model and the relational model, or is there another way? We will walk through the application development process, to the code level, to compare using an RDBMS with MongoDB.
The document discusses NoSQL databases and MongoDB in particular. It provides examples of MongoDB documents with different data types like objects, arrays, etc. It also shows how data is stored across multiple shard servers and accessed via mongos query routers. Configuration servers store sharded cluster metadata. Log data can be stored in MongoDB but only aggregated results data may be needed. HDFS is better for temporary raw log storage.

MultiPlay.io is a realtime cross-platform gaming platform that allows you to edit the games as they are being played on mobile and web devices. We've been using MongoDB now since the inception of the project, where we quickly needed a data store to handle synchronization between our players entering and leaving a 3d chatroom with guns game. Since then we've gone on to add standard gaming features such as leader boards, real time game analytics, game replays and some not so standard features such as modifying the 3d assets and textures of the games as they're being played. In this talk, we'd like to share with you the tricks and techniques we've used to handle our ever changing datasets and assets store to scale across different versions of the game clients and platforms. Which will help you gain insight into building a cross-platform rapid prototyping environment of your own too.

The document discusses how to better engage sports fans through mobile technology and gamification. It notes that current halftime shows and old methods of fan engagement are ineffective. The proposed solution is a mobile app that allows for real-time game engagement, player updates, fan involvement and social sharing. The app would use gamification with digital and tangible rewards to further incentivize fan participation and interaction. It would need to be designed with requirements for real-time capability, high availability, scalability, and ease of use and deployment in cloud environments.
How to Network Like Your Life Depends on In (Cause it Does!) francescapasha
This presentation was used for the #SSNetworking Skillshare class taught by Katie Felten of Hashable and Jodi Jefferson of Workbridge Associates.
"In this class we will demystify networking, and teach you why you should see it as fun, not a chore. Learn how to make the people you already know lead you to people you want to know, and most importantly, how to do all this effortlessly, without feeling like you're job-hunting or annoying people. We will also cover how to utilize many of the social media platforms that make connecting easier than ever. You will see how connecting people becomes second nature with a little practice, leading you to connections with people you didn't even know you were looking for and helping others along the way. Understand the importance of getting out of your office and making connections with people today that might not pay off for a year."
