.local NYC was last week and what an event it was! We’re so grateful to have gotten to connect with so many of you, whether it was in-person or virtually. If you want to catch up on some of what went down, we created a page on Developer Center where you can access a bunch of helpful resources.
We recently had a MUG in Rome, led by @cesare_laurenziello. The session was on the raft consensus algorithm and the difference from MongoDB’s primary election.
Additionally, we met up in Bangalore, thanks to our MUG leaders @Darshan_j and @Pallaav_Sethi. @Naveen_Kumar2 delivered a torrent of game-changing ideas on how to leverage AWS Cloud Formation to spin up MongoDB replication in Atlas. Megha Arora did a deep dive into MongoDB Atlas authentication and IAM. @Babu_Srinivasan1 spoke on integrating MongoDB Atlas with Amazon SageMaker. And @Jones_Zachariah_Noel_N and Darshan gave an interactive presentation on MongoDB Change Streams and Amazon Kinesis.
Lastly, we made our way to Jakarta. Many thanks to our speaker, @Hendri_Tjiptowibowo.
From CAP, Community Champion @Justin_Lee demoed Morphia, the Java ODM for MongoDB, at the Developer Community Booth at .local NYC.
If you’re attending DevBcn next week, check out Community Champion Hans-Peter Grahsl’s talk, A Monolith on the Dissecting Table: The Strangler Fig Pattern in Action. The demo will showcase MongoDB.
Lastly, Community Enthusiast and MUG Leader @Sumanta_Mukhopadhyay shares a step-by-step guide for deploying a MongoDB cluster using Terraform.
