November London MUG

On November 17th we’ll host the latest MongoDB London User Group Meetup. It will include two speaker sessions, networking time and refreshments. The full agenda is below.

Agenda

19:15 - 19:45 MongoDB and Haymarket

Abstract: Hear how Haymarket used MongoDB to create a dealer reporting tool for PistonHeads.com, the UK’s biggest online motoring community. PistonHub makes use of disparate data sources to analyse, collate and present the data as a single view for car dealers so they can understand how ads and campaigns are performing.

Bio: Peter Dignan heads the platform team at PistonHeads.com (http://www.haymarket.com/brands/pistonheads), part of Haymarket Media Group.

19:45 - 20:15 MongoDB 3.2 aggregation & $lookup

Abstract: Applications get great efficiency from MongoDB by combining data that is accessed together into a single document but there are often times – particularly for real-time analytics – where greater value can be found when combining data from multiple collections. MongoDB 3.2 addresses this through the introduction of the $lookup stage in the aggregation pipeline to implement left-outer joins.

This session looks at $lookup as well as the other significant aggregation enhancements coming with MongoDB 3.2—why they're needed, what they deliver, and how to use them.

Bio: Andrew Morgan is a Principal Product Manager working for MongoDB. He joined at the start of this summer from Oracle where he’d spent 6+ years in product management, focussed on High Availability. Andrew is based near London and so hopes to make regular appearances at the London MUG.

20:15 Networking with pizza and refreshments
