A complete DBaaS solution for MongoDB
We started this business to
help our fellow developers.
Developers like making things.
Developers like coding.


                 They like data.
But… they often hate databases.


                    Two main reasons:

                    ① Relational databases
                      are a pain to code
                      against

                    ② Database ops pretty
                      much suck
               "Please… No more mappings!"

    author: {
        name: "Bob Jones",
        email: "bob@jones.com"
    },
    tags: [
        "compliment", "Jack"
     ],
    comments: "Great point Jack!"
}
                        "Database ops. UGH!
                     Can someone please just take
                        care of all this for me?"

          backups                                  uptime
                                               high availability
        do they work?
                                                  replication
    can they be restored?
                                                auto-failover

monitoring / alerting                                 maintenance
        is it up?                                        disk space

       is it fast?                                  software upgrades
  enough disk space?                                       repairs

who needs to be alerted?
                                              expertise
                      scaling          i want to be a developer,
                                              not a DBA!
       don't make me change my code!
Our founding team set out to solve these
problems.
Step 1:
Step 1:
    MongoDB works better for OO than
    relational.

     ],                                  ],
    comments: "Great point Jack!"       comments: "Great point Jack!"
}                                   }


                  "YAY… No more mappings!"
MongoDB scales better than relational.
Adoption is taking off!
  MongoDB is becoming the general purpose
  database.

                    column-based
                     (e.g. Hadoop)

                 key/value
               (e.g. Cassandra)

It’s the Oracle killer.
One down…




            ① Relational databases
              are hard to code
              against

            ② Database ops pretty
              much suck
Step 2:


    don't waste precious time and $$$ hiring ops folks


    don't steal focus away from your core business


    don't develop competencies you can buy


    don't be held hostage by bureaucracy


    don’t have people do what automation can do
Cloud services make NoOps a reality.
