October 2017 Summaries

This tutorial aims to build a Node.js app with MongoDB Atlas and deploy it using Amazon EC2 Container Service (ECS). The author will cover the basics of Docker, ECS, and coldbrew-cli, an open source automation utility for deploying AWS Docker containers. The tutorial will guide readers through setting up their environment, building the application on their local workstation, creating a MongoDB Atlas cluster, connecting the application to the cluster, and whitelisting IP addresses to store data in MongoDB. The author will also cover securing the app by creating a basic database user with read and write access to the namespace. The tutorial is part of a two-part series, with the first part covering the setup and configuration, and the second part focusing on deploying the application using coldbrew-cli.

MongoDB Atlas, the automated database service, has introduced Cross-Region Replication and new instance sizes to enhance its offerings. The cross-region replication feature allows users to enable deployments across multiple regions for better availability guarantees and improved performance for local reads. Additionally, new M2 and M5 instance sizes are now available in select regions across all three clouds, offering a low, predictable price for projects of varying requirements. These updates aim to provide more options and flexibility for customers while maintaining high availability and consistent performance.

Announcing the MongoDB.local SF Session Agenda is a call to action for developers and users of MongoDB to attend the upcoming conference in San Francisco, where they can choose from 20+ technical sessions on various topics such as schema design, analytics, microservices, performance, and more. The conference will cover topics including jumpstarts, tutorials, and beginner-level sessions tailored to different interests and experience levels. With a focus on hands-on learning, attendees can explore the capabilities of MongoDB Stitch, learn about cluster-wide user state, and discover how to analyze data using the Aggregation Pipeline.
