Title: A Testimonial to MongoDB’s Flexibility: Unexpected Client Use Cases
Abstract: *"*You may know MongoDB for the “official” hits, customer 360 views, product catalogs, and mobile or IoT apps. But you only grasp its real flexibility (and performance) when clients use it for things no one expected. In 30 minutes, I’ll share a few real-world stories where MongoDB became the unexpected answer, why it worked, and how it quietly fit into AWS architectures without tons of glue code. Expect lessons and patterns to watch for in this real world client stories, that you can take back to your own projects."
Duration: 30 minutes

Title: Bridging MongoDB and SQL Worlds with Trino: A Unified Query Layer
Abstract: In many organizations, data lives across different storage technologies - relational databases, NoSQL systems, data warehouses, and more. In this talk, we’ll walk through how our team used Trino to build a unified aggregation engine capable of querying MongoDB and SQL sources side-by-side. We’ll cover the challenges that come with joining heterogeneous data layers, how Trino helped us avoid vendor lock-in, and the patterns we used to enable centralized analytics without migrating data. Ideal for teams looking to modernize legacy systems or integrate MongoDB into existing SQL-based architectures.
Duration: 30 minutes

Title: Beyond Legacy: Real-Time Data Applications with MongoDB
Abstract: Real-time data applications need modern solutions to face real-world problems. Data consistency, high-throughput event processing, and delay of delivering information is some of the problems that you might face when designing this applications. Modern enterprise architecture, driven by event-driven patterns and microservices, demands instant data responsiveness.
We will demonstrate how to design a robust and efficient solution using .NET, Kafka and MongoDB to conquer massive event processing loads solace and others, without compromising speed or data consistency.
