    NoSQL: How Serving 400,000 Ads A Second inspired the Creation of Mongo
Thursday, October 20th, 11:45AM PDT / 7:45PM GMT
Dwight Merriman (CEO and co-founder of 10gen, a MongoDB Company)

While While Dwight was CTO of DoubleClick, they scaled to serve 400,000 ads/second. They developed and used many custom data stores long before “nosql” was a buzzword. Over the years, they’ve seen companies struggle with both scalability and agility. Writing the first lines of MongoDB code in 2007, they drew upon these experiences building large scale, high availability, robust systems. They wanted MongoDB to be a new kind of database that tackled the challenges they were trying to solve at DoubleClick. This session will focus on internet infrastructure scaling and also cover the history and philosophy of both NoSQL and MongoDB.
