Data Modeling: Sample E-Commerce System with MongoDB
The rich document capabilities and atomic operation guarantees in MongoDB makes it possible to model many different applications. Even rigorous requirements of conventional applications like e-commerce system are possible in a document database. This data model (i.e. "schema design,") is useful for developing applications around any restricted resource system, not just e-commerce systems.

CAP Twelve Years Later: How the "Rules" Have Changed
The CAP theorem asserts that any networked shared-data system can have only two of three desirable properties (Consistency, Availability and Partition Tolerance). In this IEEE article, author Eric Brewer discusses how designers can optimize consistency and availability by explicitly handling partitions, thereby achieving some trade-off of all three.

Virtual Panel: Security Considerations in Accessing NoSQL Databases
NoSQL databases offer alternative data storage options for storing unstructured data compared to traditional relational databases. Though the NoSQL databases have been getting a lot of attention lately, the security aspects of storing and accessing NoSQL data haven't been given much emphasis. This article focuses on the security considerations and best practices in accessing the NoSQL databases.
