Bluemix provides developers with multiple open-source compute options to run their apps, chief among them Cloud Foundry, the world’s leading platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offering. Cloud Foundry enables teams to practice continuous delivery by supporting the full software development lifecycle, from dev to deployment. One of the key advantages of the platform is the ability it gives developers to easily configure and start using a MongoDB datastore for their application. In this lightning talk, Bluemix developer advocate Jake Peyser will go over Cloud Foundry and best practices for data storage when using the platform. He will then take attendees through a live demo where he will show users how to quickly configure a MongoDB instance in Bluemix and connect it to an application.
