MongoDB conversation - No Fluff Just Stuff

MongoDB conversation

Posted by: Andrew Glover on October 4, 2010

Not long ago, I had the distinct pleasure of chatting with Eliot Horowitz, the CTO of 10gen (the commercial company behind MongoDB). In this podcast, Eliot talks about MongoDB, which is a scalable, high-performance, open source document database. Eliot does a wonderful job of describing how MongoDB can fit into your toolkit and how it differs from alternatives like CouchDB.

I learned a lot about MongoDB and, in general, NoSQL from Eliot, and I think you will too! Also, don’t forget to read my article “MongoDB: A NoSQL datastore with (all the right) RDBMS moves“, which, as you’ve hopefully guessed, covers MongoDB.
