MongoDB High Availability

Design and implement a highly available server using the latest features of MongoDB

Overview

• Improve response time by profiling and indexing on large databases
• Configure a Replica set network from scratch using a real-world example
• Step-by-step guide to setting up and learning about the latest MongoDB components and features to perform clustering and sharding

In Detail

MongoDB is one of the pioneers in implementing the NoSQL concept by using “Document” as the infrastructure to save and restore data from a database. Using MongoDB in high pressure situations needs a predefined plan, and this book with its step-by-step approach can help you to make a highly available MongoDB server using the latest features.

Starting with the basic concepts and their implementation, you will study real-world use cases which will help you understand the practical aspects of MongoDB. Each step contains an in-depth presentation and several screenshots. This book teaches you all the tips and tricks to make a highly available MongoDB server using different clustering solutions. This book has a perfect balance of concepts and their practical implementation along with solutions to make a highly available MongoDB server in a production environment and under high throughput with clear instructions and guidance.
