Ox for Mongo DB

Breaking the Relational Development Paradigm

Todd Edman, CEO Lunar LogicMichael Calabrese, Project Lead Lunar Logic

Why Mongo?

Not For Speed:The app wasn't high-volume and didn't have a large data set.

Document Storage:We had a project that was mostly document based.

Why Develop a Framework?

Everything was Designed as a ORM:

Zend, Cake, Yii, SQL Heavy Schema

Ox/MongoDB No Schema

Helpful for Code Organization

What we Threw Away

We decided we didn't need....

An Object Layer

-BSON was good enough

Joins, Complicated Views, ...framework fatigue.

How It Set us Free

Encouraged Change, No Model Inertia

How it set us Free:

What we Didn't Do:

No Data Normalization No Layers of Code No coding around the framework

Well Grouped Ideas

Lead to Simple Code

10 Collections

Not Dozens of Tables

The Results:

In 7 months and 1,200 hours:

Software Better Suited to the Need

New Feature Velocity Still High Still Fun to Code-Very little Programmers Regret.
