MongoDB Days UK: NOW TV and Linear Streaming: Scaling MongoDB for High Load Events

Presented by Tom Maule, Software Solutions Architect, NowTV Experience level: Advanced NOW TV’s customer base has tripled year on year, and linear event streaming has become a greater and greater percentage of their viewing. This talk will take you through the lessons we learnt following one unfortunate event in 2014 which led NOW TV to catastrophic failure, and the improvements and scalability challenges we were faced with when preparing for the same event just 1 year later. Hear how we turned our entire failure case behavior on its head; from always failing in favor of NOW TV, to failing in favor of the customer. Learn how we ensure that high availability of video assets on the CDN ensures continued playout irrespective of the state of our application servers. Take away some tips of how NOT to scale, as well as how we reversed our fortunes and delivered stability during the biggest event on NOW TV to date.

MongoDB Days Germany: Data Processing with MongoDB

Presented by Marc Schwering, Senior Solutions Architect, MongoDB Modern architectures are moving away from "one size fits all" solutions. The best tools need to be put to the job and given the large amounts of options today, chances are that you’ll end up using MongoDB for your operational workload, as well as Data Processing Systems like Apache Flink or Spark for your high speed data processing needs. When documents or data structures are modeled, there are some key aspects that need to be attended. This takes into consideration the distribution of data nodes, streaming capabilities, performance, aggregation, and queryability options, and how we can integrate the different data processing software that can benefit from subtle but substantial model changes. This session will cover the way how you enhance your architecture using data processing technologies such as Apache Flink and Spark. It will take the audience through the evolution of an app from simple to complex with its architectural requirements . We´ll look into similarities and differences of available technologies and you will walk away with an understanding how to use MongoDB to fulfill more advanced tasks such as personalization through clustering algorithms.
