What you will hear What is NoSQL Available NoSQL Databases
Intro to MongoDB
What is NoSQL
Fancy Answer NoSQL is a class of database management system
identified by its non-adherence to the widely-use relational database management system
My Answer It’s not SQL
Does not use SQL as its query language May not
give full ACID guarantees Distributed architecture Typically optimized for reading and writing operations
Advantages
Traditional Scaling Bigger is better! (or so they thought) Increase
the size and power of the server
Scaling with NoSql Scale horizontally! Distribute across multiple servers More
economical using lower-cost servers
What is Sharding Allows MongoDB to scale horizontally Evenly distributes
chunks of data Performed per collection
None
Goodbye Schemas Flexible data models Easy to add/change data structures
Disadvantages
Goodbye Schemas Flexible data structures Application dependent on integrity
NoSQl is Still Young Does not reduce administration (at least
not yet) Lack of expertise Lack of projects expanding on NoSQL
NoSQL Databases Cassandra MongoDB CouchDB Redis Riak Neo4j
How is it used?
NoSQL out in the Wild Analytics - takes advantage of
read/write optimizations Logging Large Scale Projects
MongoDB
What is MongoDB Document Oriented Storage Replication & Auto-Sharding Document-based
queries similar to SQL Atomic Updates Map/Reduce
Document Oriented No schemas!! No joins for high performance and
scalability embed documents JSON-Style storage
High Performance Stores a lot of data in memory Embedding
documents increase read and writes Allows indexing
Availability and Scalability Replicated servers with automatic master failover Auto-sharing
across servers Consistent reads distributed over replicated servers
Atomic Modifers In place updating documents Does not replace entire
document Ideally suited for write heavy applications
Storing data Data is grouped by collections Collection contains documents
of key-value pairs Values can be rich including arrays and documents Stored as BSON - Binary Serialized Document Notation
Querying Javascript console allows for functions Returns a cursor -
lazy load of results Queries expressed as JSON Documents auto-assigned ObjectId
Advantages Active community including 10Gen Driver support for most languages
Many new features to come
Disadvantages No inherit transaction support Scaling sometimes isn’t simple Multiple
servers recommended Object modeling can be complex
The big data loss debate Internet flame war history Mongo
performs one write at a time - global lock Stored in memory Replication - fail over
Examples Interactive time! Goto to https://gist.github.com/2719591 for examples
Embed vs Referenced Relationships for models Object Models - Think
differently When in doubt store in different collection
Mongo Object Mappers for Ruby MongoMapper Mongoid Mongo ODM MongoModel
Mongoid Advantages Excellent Documentation Active Community Compatibility with other projects
Similar API to ActiveRecord Uses ActiveValidation Version library
Compatible Gems Devise - Authentication solutions for Rails Carrierwave -
Simple and flexible way to upload files from Ruby. Supports GridFS Geocoder - Complete geocoding solution for Rails Mongoid-Rspec - RSpec matchers and macros for Mongoid
Mongoid Document class Team include Mongoid::Document include Mongoid::Timestamps field :name,
type: String field :city, type: String field :location, :type => Array validates :name, :city, :presence => true end
The End Follow me - @ryanfischer20
