Dan Worth and Brian McNamara: Containerizing MongoDB with Kubernetes

Date: Monday, June 13th @ 7pm

To keep pace with business growth and an unrelenting software release schedule, fuboTV has migrated its MongoDB database to Docker containers managed by the Kubernetes orchestration system on the Google Cloud Platform. There are several attractive features of running MongoDB on Kubernetes for fuboTV, the subscription based streaming service for Soccer. First, we are able to take advantage of Replica Sets on highly-resilient Replication Controllers. This allows us to tolerate failures at the container and host layer without needing to reconfigure applications. Second, we are able to get a consistent and lightweight deployment of MongoDB. Third, we are able to get better cluster utilization by having a single Kubernetes cluster handle both production and non-production workloads. In this talk, Dan Worth of fuboTV and Brian MacNamara will share how and why they implemented the Kubernetes orchestration system for fuboTV.
