Please join David Murphy as he presents “Understanding how your MongoDB schemas affect scaling, and when to consider sharding for help”.

David will discuss the pros and cons of a few MongoDB schema design patterns on a stand-alone machine, and then will look at how sharding affects them. Next he’ll examine what assumptions you may make that could cause havoc on your cpu,memory, and network during a scatter gather.  He’ll help answer:

- Would you still use the same schema if you knew you were going to shard?
- Are your fetches using the same shard, or employing parallelism to boost performance?
- Are you following the golden rules of schema design?
