01 / ABOUT THIS SESSION

Interest in MongoDB and other NoSQL platforms has waxed and waned over the years, however, Mongo remains an enormously useful tool.

In this session, you will learn everything you need to know to master MongoDB.

We dive deep into advanced topics, data architecture, tooling options, clustering, replication and sharding. You'll learn when Mongo is the perfect tool for the job (and when it isn't) and what's new in 2018

YOUR SPEAKER

Michael Carducci

SOFTWARE ARCHITECT & MAGICIAN

Michael Carducci spent years learning to see things as they actually are; first as a magician, then as a software architect, now as both simultaneously. And somehow that’s not even the whole story.

He’s the author of Mastering Software Architecture (Apress, 2025) and is currently writing The Semantic Layer (Packt, 2026). He has spent over 25 years following interesting problems; through roles from individual contributor to CTO and back again, across industries and continents.

As a speaker, he applies the same toolkit he uses in close-up magic: attention, misdirection, timing, storytelling, and the instinct to take the long way around when that’s where the truth lives. Audiences at hundreds of conferences across four continents have described his talks as the kind that change how you think about a problem rather than just what you know about it.

He also makes YouTube videos about technology and curiosity with his wife Kate, because some ideas are too important (or too interesting!) to leave only in conference rooms.
