This document discusses MongoDB replication using replica sets. It describes how to configure and administer replica sets, which allow for asynchronous master-slave replication and automatic failover between members. Replica sets maintain multiple copies of data across multiple servers, provide redundancy and high availability, and can elect a new primary if one fails. The document outlines different replication topologies and member types in a replica set, and how replica sets integrate with sharded clusters in MongoDB.
One of the strongest points for using a NoSQL database is their focus on distribution — both for replication and sharding. This talks takes a short look at what replication is, why you should use it, and what is so difficult about it. We then take a look at MongoDB’s implementation in general and finally focus on what can go wrong. In a practical demo you see how to find the right balance between performance versus data safety and how to use it in your Java application.

SCALE 15x Minimizing PostgreSQL Major Version Upgrade DowntimeJeff Frost
Let's face it, major version upgrades can be a pain. Most people are familiar with the dump/restore method, but if your database happens to be larger than a few GB, the downtime required for dump/restore is likely going to exceed your maximum maintenance window.
We'll briefly explore upgrade options including dump/restore, pg_upgrade and logical replication tools like Slony and why I think Slony is currently the best option. Then we'll run through a tutorial on how to use slony for a major version upgrade with minimal downtime.

Caching and tuning fun for high scalabilityWim Godden
Caching has been a 'hot' topic for a few years. But caching takes more than merely taking data and putting it in a cache : the right caching techniques can improve performance and reduce load significantly. But we'll also look at some major pitfalls, showing that caching the wrong way can bring down your site. If you're looking for a clear explanation about various caching techniques and tools like Memcached, Nginx and Varnish, as well as ways to deploy them in an efficient way, this talk is for you.

MongoDB supports replication for failover and redundancy. In this session we will introduce the basic concepts around replica sets, which provide automated failover and recovery of nodes. We'll cover how to set up, configure, and initiate a replica set; methods for using replication to scale reads; and proper architecture for durability.

Talk given by David Peterson, Lead Systems Engineer at Salesforce, at StackiFest in March 2016
Enterprise bare metal provisioning using Stacki at Salesforce/Pardot and how we've configured it in our environment. It used to take the Ops teams hours to do end-to-end provisioning with chef integration to now it takes about 15 minutes with it all being automated. In this presentation, I will discuss:
- Why we chose Stacki
- Hardware and provisioning requirements
- Stacki configuration with chef integration
- ZFS and data safe re-provisioning
- Detecting issues and adhoc reporting

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

24. Commands { isMaster : 1 } Checks if the node to which we are connecting is currently primary. Most drivers do this check automatically and then send requires to the current primary. { replSetGetStatus : 1 } Status information on the replica set from this node's point of view. http://localhost:28017/replSetGetStatus?text { replSetInitiate : <config> } Initiate a replica set. { replSetFreeze : <bool> } Freezing a replica set prevents failovers from occurring. This can be useful during maintenance.
