MongoDB Administration Checklist for MySQL DBAs

If you are MySQL DBA, starting MongoDB administration is not always an easy transition. This post provides a checklist for MongoDB administrators who are familiar with MySQL.

In this blog, I discuss a MongoDB administration checklist designed to help MySQL DBAs.

If you are MySQL DBA, starting MongoDB administration is not always an easy transition. Although most of the concepts and even implementation are similar, the commands are different. The following table outlines the typical MySQL concepts and DBA tasks (on the left) to corresponding MongoDB ones (on the right). If you happen to be a MongoDB DBA and want to learn MySQL administration, you can use the same table looking from right to left.

I’ve also created a webinar, MongoDB administration for MySQL DBA, that explains the above concepts. You can download the slides to use as a reference.

Don’t forget about our upcoming event Community Open House for MongoDB in New York, June 30, 2016. There will be technical presentations and sessions from key members of the MongoDB open source community. This event is free of charge and open to all.
