MMS: The Easiest Way to Run MongoDB
Daniel Coupal

Technical Services Engineer, MongoDB
What is MMS?
What WAS the MongoDB Management Service?
• Last month, the MongoDB Management Service was a web-based tool that allowed you to Monitor and Backup your MongoDB deployment.
• You created your deployment, in any size or shape, then you used MMS to Monitor or Backup your deployment.
What did we change?
• MMS is now a web-based tool that starts with you from the beginning of your MongoDB deployment lifecycle.
• Now you use MMS to build your deployment, and then continue to use MMS to manage its lifecycle (including Monitoring and Backup!)
Why the change?
1. MMS was arriving in the user’s life a little “late to the party”. Mistakes had already been made. User might already some misconceptions or frustrations with MongoDB.
2. Previous version of MMS could monitor critical operations (maintenance, upgrades, etc.), but not actually help!
And run a very large MongoDB deployment of their own!

Proactive Support
MongoDB offers Proactive Support for Subscription Customers. Our engineers can
monitor your deployment and make suggestions in order to tweak for better
performance or avoid doom.

Risks Are Everywhere

Replication
• Redundant copies of your data across – Servers – Racks – Data Centers
• Automatic failover
• Tunable consistency minimizes risk
• However…programmer errors will replicate almost immediately!
Backups
Backing up data is one way to ensure availability and lower risk. Effort is required to ensure that your backup system is always running and that the backups are correct.
MongoDB Backup Approaches

Initial complexity Medium High Low
Confidence in Backups
Medium Medium High
Point in time recovery of replica set
Sort of ☺ No Yes
System Overhead High Can be low Low
Scalable No With work Yes
Consistent Snapshot of Sharded System
Difficult Difficult Yes
MMS Maintenance Operations
The Process
• Applies to upgrades and most maintenance tasks
• Careful order of steps is critical – Especially in sharded clusters!
• For each shard/replica set – For each replica set member
• http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/perform-maintence-on-replica-set-members/
Step 1 – Stop A Secondary
Step 2 – Restart As Standalone
Step 3 – Perform Maintenance
Step 4 – Restart As Member of Replica Set
Step 5 – Work on Primary Last
Demo
Operations
• Upgrade/Downgrade
• Add replica member
• Add shard
• Remove shard
• Resize oplog
