Greg Brockman: So, I’m Greg Brockman. I work at Stripe. So, Stripe is an online payment processor to make it really easy to add payments to your website. So, if you haven’t heard of us before, you should definitely go check us out and use us for your data processing needs.
So, the thing I’m going to be talking about today is Monster, which is our event processing system that we’ve been using for a little over a year now. So, I wrote the first generation Monster, and over time, a lot of different people at Stripe have contributed to it. And the reason that I’m here is that we use MongoDB pretty heavily in order to make Monster work. There are a lot of reasons that we chose MongoDB and stuck with MongoDB over the past year, and I’ll get into that.
Today we have a talk from a recent SF MongoDB user group meetup by MongoDB expert Greg Brockman. Greg has been leading development at Stripe where they use MongoDB to power their event processing system.
