I’ve been spending some time taking a closer look at MongoDB, in conjunction with a consulting job that I’ve been working on for a start-up.  The developers were been unhappy with their experience trying to develop on a RDBMS for the cloud and they asked me to propose alternatives.  While NoSQL is NOT the be-all or end-all for all start-ups, there are certain types of data that lend themselves well to this model. To that end, I’ve created a presentation which I’ll be be sharing at technical events this year.
