DA620: Languages, Drivers, Web Services

Build scalable, stateless web services powered by MongoDB to solve real-world business challenges. This course explores dynamic, static, and asynchronous programming paradigms to boost performance and overcome common system bottlenecks.

Advanced Training: Languages, Drivers, Web Services (DA620)

Overview

In this training workshop we create a scalable, stateless web service to perform a real-world business task. Using three different styles of programming language (dynamic, static, and asynchronous), we compare the performance, readability and functionality of these three language styles as well as provide a reusable foundation to create new services. We measure performance and observe which factors influence it. We then look at what bottlenecks exist in our solution and design ways to overcome any limitations before finally learning a new design pattern as we create a consumer replenished resource service.

Intended Audience

This training workshop is intended for developers who have completed DEV400 (MongoDB Developer Extension) and who intend to build a multi-user, shared-data application and want to understand how to do so in a way that will scale well and make optimal use of database resources. This is a polyglot programming course but taught in a way that means knowledge of any modern programming language will equip you to complete it.

Workshop Objectives

In this training workshop, you will learn how to:

  • implement isolation using advanced MongoDB update operators

  • evaluate the implied infrastructure costs of different app language choices

  • understand the impact of network latency between application servers and the database

  • diagnose hidden resource contention and eliminate unnecessary performance loss

  • implement mechanisms to reduce database resource contention for better throughput

  • ensure traceable message delivery to clients

Duration

1 day
