After installing MongoDB, I’m really excited to learn more about MongoDB.
What is it anyway?
MongoDB is document oriented database, which bridges the gap between key-value stores (which are fast and highly scalable) and traditional RDBMS systems (which provide rich queries and deep functionality). It’s written in the C++ and has been developed since October 2007 by 10gen.
Why is it matter?
- Speed
- Auto sharding
- Fast In-Place Updates
- GridFS – Store files of any size without complicating your stack.
- Commercial Support – if you have problem using MongoDB, you can ask for commercial support.
Who use it?
Why bother to learn if there are no real company use it? Well, here some of companies who use MongoDB :
- Foursquare
- Bit.ly
- Sourceforge
- Github
- Disqus
- The New York Times
- and others
What next?

I am a frequent reader of your blog posts. I liked the recent one and other posts on your blog so much that I have subscribed to the blog’s RSS feed in Thunderbird. Even thinking of stealing some ideas and put them to work. Keep all the good work going by posting more informative posts. Thank you. Time well spent on this post.
