Mongo Seattle was fantastic, I learned a lot about MongoDB, and met a bunch of awesome people. If you’re interested in MongoDB, and the conference comes to your town, you should definitely attend.
Hopefully I also taught folks a thing or two, or at least notched down their fear levels about using MongoDB in production, with my talk about TeachStreet’s Mongo-powered teacher metrics dashboard. There should be video of my talk online soon, but in the meantime feel free to peruse the slide deck.

My friend @dacort also gave a talk entitled “MongoDB Real-time Data Collection and Stats Generation“ about using MongoDB with RowFeeder and some of his other projects. It is worth checking out; he’s processing a boatload of data.
Thanks to Meghan Gill and the rest of the 10gen team for making it happen, and Chris Lea from Media Temple, who kept the tab open all night for delicious post-conference food and cocktails at Tavern Law.
