There's a Monster in My Closet: Architecture of a MongoDB-powered Event Processing System - Greg Brockman, Stripe

Monster is Stripe's in-house framework for producing and consuming events. Whenever a user logs in, whenever a payment is received, whenever a cron job runs, an event is logged into our MongoDB event store. These events update aggregate totals, feed into fraud algorithms, and can be analyzed as a changelog of the system. In this talk, we'll discuss how MongoDB's unique features make it easy to implement Monster.
