MongoDB

The folks at 10gen are offering 2 free courses in MongoDB (see https://education.10gen.com/) - one on creating applications using MongoDB and a second on deploying and administering MongoDB. From what the site says, you will also receive a certificate upon successful completion of the course. I've signed up for the latter so far (and hopefully if the program continues, sign up for the former next year). As I already mentioned, the courses are free but you have to sign up before the first set of homework is due on Monday the 29th.

I'm looking at a potential issue that we might be facing soon in one of our game backend servers where we have over a million + or so users hitting the server daily and buying assets in our game and doing other game related things.

Right now when buying an asset it gets inserted as a node and content type with cck, well we where discussing the other day that int(11) only goes up to about 2 billion+ nodes and while this is a lot for most sites we can easily reach that in a month or so and also as our customer base grows.

Just wanted to brainstorm regarding a table wizard/mongodb possible integration
We've entered the mobile scene pretty strong and we're thinking of having something lighter then drupal services on the server side (Drupal performs a full drupal bootstrap for each service call).
This might be ok in a low traffic application but could never suite a mmorpg or a facebook application.
My idea is to use node.js as the server and mongodb as the storage and then export the mongodb data to drupal.

Per our discussion of MongoDB last night (discussing the DrupalCon session covering the topic), it slipped my mind that there is an article about MongoDB in the upcoming Linux Journal, June 2010. I even had a copy in my bag I could have passed around. :-/

I will bring it next time though! It should be on newsstands soon too. ;)
