Eliot Horowitz MongoDB AWS Re:Invent 2013

Eliot Horowitz MongoDB at AWS Re:Invent 2013 2013 with John Furrier and Dave Vellante DevOps and MongoDB have a few things in common. According to Eliot Horowitz the co-founder and CTO of the database company both deliver on the promise of accelerating time-to-market by enabling developers to focus on their ideas instead of getting bogged down in plumbing. He dropped by theCUBE at Amazons landmark re:Invent 2013 summit to elaborate. In contrast to traditional databases MongoDB is based on a document data model that makes it easier for users to store and interact with their information. But while the platform differs from relational systems architecturally it employs the same indexing functions to streamline migration Horowitz says. He reflects that MongoDB was originally created for internal use to simplify application development. The platform is new compared to the more established products on the market and it has received a fair share of criticism but Horowitz says that a lot of progress is being made in addressing user concerns. The issues that prompted some practitioners to complain about the scalability of MongoDB have been solved he continues. The company is continuously improving its offering to compete in the cutthroat NoSQL market which Horowitz believes will be consolidated over the next few years. I definitely think that there will be consolidation and I think that there will be consolidation in two ways: one is the number of database vendors and two is right now you have this mentality of Im just gonna try a different database for every different problem I have he says. The days of one database for all my problems is definitely gone youre not gonna have companies betting everything on a single database but I dont think companies are gonna have 20 different operational data stores theyre gonna want to have three maybe four. The databases in tomorrows enterprise will include a batch processing system a relational solution a platform like MongoDB for sorting loosely related information such as entity data and possibly a lightweight key-value store Horowitz predicts.
