1. Five Years of Beta Jeremy Mikola @jmikola
2. A little about myself
3. Some time ago, I talked about this…
4. tl;dr
5. This is a story about Doctrine MongoDB ODM
6. From the other side
7. • Object Relational Mapper (ORM) • Database Abstraction Layer (DBAL) • Object Document Mappers (ODMs) ◦ MongoDB ◦ PHPCR ◦ CouchDB ◦ OrientDB • MongoDB Abstraction Layer • Common ◦ Annotations ◦ Collections ◦ Lexer • Cache • Migrations • Framework integrations ◦ Symfony bridge and bundles ◦ Zend Framework modules What (and who) is Doctrine?
8. What is MongoDB? • Open-source document database ◦ Replication and sharding ◦ Web scale™ • Cloud services ◦ Monitoring and backup ◦ Operations management ◦ Database as a Service (DBaaS) • Integrations ◦ Hadoop ◦ Spark ◦ BI Connector (SQL) • Drivers ◦ PHP, HHVM, and many other languages
9. Let’s go back in time…
11. Who was using Symfony back then?
12. OpenSky faced an architectural challenge • Encountered difficulty scaling Magento ◦ Multi-tenant deployment with hundreds of stores • Realized the need for a bespoke application ◦ Move Magento behind a service layer during transition ◦ Slowly migrate away from its EAV database model • Considered the very latest technologies ◦ PHP 5.3 ◦ Lithium ◦ Symfony 2 ◦ Zend Framework 2 ◦ MongoDB
13. Symfony Live Paris 2011
14. Symfony Live Paris 2011
15. Long before Composer
16. install_vendors.sh
17. update_vendors.sh
18. Active Record
19. Data Mapper
21. These guys had an idea
22. Why don’t we create an ODM for MongoDB? • Port essential ORM functionality ◦ Class metadata ◦ Unit of work ◦ Lifecycle events ◦ Persistence ◦ Repositories • Limit the feature scope ◦ Database abstraction layer ◦ Sharding support ◦ Migrations ◦ Caching
24. 2010 – 2011
25. 2012 – 2014
26. 2015 – present
27. Why did this take five years?
28. Keeping up with the flow
29. • Maintaining compatibility ◦ MongoDB server ◦ Doctrine Common ◦ Framework integrations ◦ “Gedmo” Doctrine extensions • Community support ◦ Usage questions ◦ Pull requests ◦ Bug reports • Security vulnerabilities Never-ending todo list
32. Watch out for feature creep
33. Ever-growing wish list • Requested ORM features ◦ Repository factories ◦ Query filters ◦ Criteria API ◦ Result caching • New ODM features ◦ Sharding ◦ Geo-spatial queries ◦ Aggregation builder • Refactoring • PHP 7 support
37. Waiting to merge pull requests
38. Perfectionism vs. pragmatism
39. Milestones should not have an open door policy
41. Poppin’ tags
43. Semantic versioning Major: BC breaks Minor: New features Patch: Bug fixes
44. Semantic versioning Major: BC breaks Minor: New features Patch: Bug fixes Pre-release: Loophole!
47. Find a balance
48. Open-source can be a full-time job
53. Becoming overwhelmed
54. Abandoned projects
55. How did I end up here?
56. /ping @jwage /ping @jwage /ping @jwage ...
59. If you look around and can’t find the leader of your local user group… guess what? You are it. ― Cal Evans “
60. Open-source should be a team effort
61. ORM development over time
68. Cultivate and encourage your volunteers
69. Fast forward a few months...
74. These guys closed the gap
76. Where do we go from here?
82. On the road to 2.0.0 • Remove deprecated or problematic APIs ◦ YAML driver ◦ requireIndexes • Behavioral changes ◦ Collection strategies ◦ Embedded documents • Internal refactoring ◦ Change set calculation ◦ Class metadata • Direct PHP 7 support ◦ Build upon the new MongoDB driver (ext-mongodb)
83. 2015 – present
84. See you in another five years…
