der.hans: GNU/Linux tuning for MongoDB

Description:
MongoDB is a popular document-oriented database.

Like most databases, MongoDB benefits from particular GNU/Linux system tuning.

While GNU/Linux distributions and container distributions create good default configurations, they need some changes to get optimal performance for your database needs.

Attendees will learn about the following for MongoDB:

* Linux kernel tuning
* memory tuning
* block device tuning
* filesystem tuning
* network tuning
