Welcome to the first in a series of in-depth articles looking at the developer’s role in the modern organisation. In this first post: a new generation has arrived. As organisations shift to becoming technology-focused, developers’ roles have evolved so that they are now playing a crucial role in decision making across their businesses. However, all this newfound alignment isn’t so keenly felt across the whole developer workforce…

In the wake of the MongoDB insecurity debacle, Lukas Eder writes that the solution is a wider variety of skills in a developer team.

MongoDB are back in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Up to 40,000 MongoDB databases have been found open and unsecured by a team of students, showing us how potential cybercriminals could access sensitive and important data.

News of a MongoDB 3.0 release brings promises of more power, flexibility and easier management, as the document database gets a thorough make-over.

MongoDB is making claims that it’s a “schemaless database” because it’s a JSON-style data store. But does that really make it schemaless? And what does “schemaless” even mean anyway?

Big data has made big wins for a small few. But there’s still plenty of ways for companies to hurt themselves trying to hop on the analytics bandwagon.

With a new approach to production support, MongoDB is giving frugal community edition users a taste of the enterprise experience

Hadoop and NoSQL big guns announce mutually beneficial agreement to co-market and co-sell their software, ticking relational providers off in the process.

With TokuMX version 1.4, company is offering improved sharding that resolves the bottlenecks experienced by Mongo users.

NoSQL CEO Bob Wiederhold outlines his plans for world domination – one enterprise at a time.

NoSQL is becoming more widely used across the board – but growing importance of data is fuelling interest in graph based schema.

We meet the king of the Silicon Alley startup scene to discuss NoSQL, breaking records, and why he believes the success of the humongous database is down to more than just good marketing.

Much has been made of scalability as a driver for choosing a database, but the choice of a database influences much more than the scaling architecture. Different database choices drive different data models which in turn influence the development process. In this talk, Dwight Merriman, founder and CEO of 10gen and a core MongoDB committer, draws on his experiences from DoubleClick, where he was founder and CTO, as well as his experiences founding Gilt Groupe, ShopWiki, and Business Insider, to discuss how the influence of the database on the development process and how making the right database choices can allow agile development. This keynote was filmed at JAX London 2013.
