MongoEngine NoORM for NoSQL Serge Matveenko github.com/lig PyCon Russia 2013
Quick MongoDB intro NoSQL document-oriented database • scalable (auto-sharding, replication)
• high-performance (~104-105 queries/sec) • open source (db: AGPL, drivers: Apache)
RDBMS vs MongoDB RDBMS MongoDB data DB + Driver DB
+ PyMongo aggregation constraints Application validation cascade updates business logic Application

MongoEngine class CharacterName(EmbeddedDocument): first = StringField() last = StringField() class
Character(Document): name = EmbeddedDocumentField(CharacterName) rating = IntField() MongoDB { "_id" : ObjectId ("5125e0ee98764119e77d9b1f"), "_types" : ["Character"], "rating" : 42, "name" : {"_types" : ["CharacterName"], "last": "Connor", "_cls": "CharacterName", "first": "Sarah"}, "_cls": "Character" } How it looks
MongoEngine class CharacterName(EmbeddedDocument): first = StringField() last = StringField() class
Character(Document): name = EmbeddedDocumentField(CharacterName) rating = IntField() MongoDB { "_id" : ObjectId ("5125e0ee98764119e77d9b1f"), "rating" : 42, "name" : {"last": "Connor", "_cls": "CharacterName", "first": "Sarah"}, "_cls": "Character" } How it looks (MongoEngine 0.8)
Simple db.character.find({'name.first': 'John'}) Character.objects(name__first='John') db.character.find({rating: {$gte: 42}}).limit(5) Character.objects(rating__gte=42)[:5] db.character.find({rating: {$exists:
false}}) Character.objects(rating__exists=False) Querying with MongoEngine
Map/Reduce db.character.mapReduce(map_f, reduce_f, {out: 'mr_col'}); db.mr_col.find(); Character.objects.map_reduce(map_f, reduce_f, 'mr_col') Querying
with MongoEngine
Creating db.character.save( {name: {first: 'John', last: 'Conor'}, rating: 42}) jc
= Character( name=CharacterName(first='John', last='Conor'), rating=42) jc.save() Updating with MongoEngine
Atomic updates db.character.update( {name: {first: "John", last: "Conor"}}, {$set: {"name.last":
"Connor"}}) Character.objects( name=CharacterName(first='John', last='Conor') ).update(set__name__last='Connor') Updating with MongoEngine

Performance
Out of the box • authentication backend • session engine
• GridFSStorage Third party • stephrdev/django-mongoforms (Model Forms port) • wpjunior/django-mongotools (forms, generic views) • lig/django-registration-me (django-registration port) Django integration
Customizing things (added today. sorry:) • SequenceField(value_decorator=func) • StringField(regex=r'…') •
URLField(verify_exists=True) • … • Inherit from standard Field classes • Write your own Field classes • Inherit from BaseDocument class, don't forget metaclass! • Any metamagic your like…
