I wanted to write a blog post about my experience with how mongodb has evolved how I hated it and grew to love it. I think mongodb is a GREAT opensource product and even better the company behind it is amazing (hopefully no one takes my early criticism to harshly).
I was tasked with the job of assisting my company with the operationalization of emerging technologies such as mongodb. Specifically how we can automate many of the manual steps involved with upgrades, backup and recovery and even deployment. Today, I want to talk about how to handle rolling upgrades of mongodb with fabric and puppet.
