If you are considering or running a MongoDB cluster, there are some important choices you need to make. One common concern - especially coming from an RDBMS background - is data durability. After all, what good is a database if it does not actually keep your data?
This session explores key features and characteristics of MongoDB and replica sets, forming the basis for understanding durability in MongoDB. We will cover standalone, replica sets, and common failure scenarios. After this talk, you will be well positioned to design replica sets and choose appropriate read/write modes for your applications using the database.
