In this RedMonk conversation James Governor catches up with Boris Bialek, Field CTO at MongoDB on industry solutions and scalability. Given the story of the company includes one of the most well known memes in database history - “MongoDB is web scale” we felt it might be time to take another look. Bialek has been working on database scale for decades, including work on IBM's venerable relational database DB2, so he's seen it all. He's enjoying life at MongoDB working on customer problems at scale with MongoDB, and that's what the show is about.
The conversation looks at ACID compliance and transactionality, something MongoDB isn't known for, but which it has supported for some time. It explores the complexity and scale of managing ecommerce financial transactions at scale with Black Friday events.. From luxury brands to real-time data management in cars, Boris highlights MongoDB's real-time integration functionality. The discussion also touches upon scalability and optimization in database systems for real-time decision-making.
