MongoDB @ Viacom
Download as PPTX, PDF•0 likes•1,823 views
Viacom utilizes MongoDB for its internal high volume polling, voting, and data collection service named Funnel, which supports over 100 global sites and experiences sudden spikes in votes during events. The system was developed to overcome limitations of previous unmanageable systems, providing flexibility and scalability with a single installation that can handle millions of votes. Funnel has processed over 10 billion votes across various events, demonstrating its effectiveness and performance in engaging audiences.

MongoDB @ Viacom
- 1. MongoDB @ Viacom 1 (or how to support a few million kids sliming their favorite celebrities all at once.)
- 2. Who Are We? Michael Makunas Director - Multiplatform Engineering @mmakunas Ramesh Nuthalapati Architect - Multiplatform Engineering @nuthalapati 2
- 3. Who Are We? Viacom Media Networks Viacom creates original entertainment content for every audience, on every screen around the world. The company's brands strive for creative excellence and cultural impact across programming, motion pictures and digital experiences that live online, on mobile, and via apps. 3
- 4. Today We Are Talking About... Funnel Viacom’s internal high volume polling, voting, and data collection service. 4
- 5. …and How MongoDB just works. 5 • Launched in 2011 on 2.0 • Currently on 2.4
- 6. Use Cases Award Show Voting •MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) •European Movie Awards (EMAs) •Kids Choice Awards (KCAs) •CMT Music Awards Polling •MTV March Musical Madness •Spike Bellator On Air Match Voting Contests •MTV Ultimate Fan Experience 6
- 7. What is “High Volume” to Viacom? •From big to little, continuous “horizontal” support across 100+ global sites •Voting, polling, and data collection occurs 24/7 •No “maintenance windows” •Sudden spikes to 15K+ votes per second from on-air “Throws” during prime time viewing: “Go to the site and Vote Now!” •Storage of 100s of millions of votes for analysis after events 7
- 9. Who will survive the Human Slime Car Wash!?!?!? 9
- 10. Statistics (Pushing The Limit) 2015 Kids Choice Awards •531 Million votes (a new record!) •7 Million votes during the show 10
- 11. Some Definitions Funnel •Our internal name for our system Site •A brand and/or site specific namespace for collecting data Tent-pole •A major programming (entertainment) event Collection •An individual poll, voting event, sweepstakes, etc. •NOT a MongoDB Collection Entry •A single vote or poll entry Processor •Performs an action on a entry (validate it, persists it, etc.) 11
- 12. History •Why did we build Funnel? •Why did we choose Mongo? 12
- 13. Why Did We Build It? •Previous systems unmanageable •One system for data collection •Contests, sweepstakes, small polls •Built in-house with ATG Dynamo and MySQL •Per-site deployment model meant multiple installations per brand •Flexible schema == MySql “xml blobs” •Separate system for high volume polling •Comercial •Lack of customization •Per-brand installation 13
- 14. Why Did We Choose Mongo? •Flexible schema document style database provides the quick-to-market support needed by 100+ sites, brands, and countries (All who want things “just a little bit different”) •Proven scalability •JSON in and JSON out 14
- 15. Architectural Goals • High write throughput over read throughput and consistency • Handle up to 10,000 1KB writes per second. Read throughput is secondary • High Availability • Replace dozens of separate installations and services • Wide adoption across internal brands 15
- 16. Server Layout 16 Primary Secondary Secondary Replica Set 1 (day-to-day use) Replica Set 2 (tent-pole events) Primary Secondary Secondary
- 17. Server Layout • High availability • Primary, Secondary configuration with automatic failover • Primary stores all reads and writes, secondary stays in- sync with Primary • Monitoring with MongoDB Management Service (MMS) • Email Alerts from MMS for high volume op inserts 17

- 21. Processors • Each entry received by Funnel will be handled by an ordered list of processors (the ProcessorChain) As each processor in the list is visited, the processor will decide whether to continue to the next one or to terminate further processing • A Processor can raise an error, and its detail message will be configurable and localizable. When an error is raised, it can signal the system to take a few different actions depending on the severity of the error condition: Log the error but continue to processing Bubble up the error to the client and cease further processing Ignore the error, cease further processing, and return an OK response to the client 21

- 27. An Entry would look like… 27 { "_id" : ObjectId("53c698c1ebd268ff9b76034d"), "answers" : { "question" : "option-3", "source" : "mobile", "True-Client-IP" : "166.77.6.8" }, "createdDate" : ISODate("2014-07-16T15:22:41.593Z") }
- 29. A Tally would look like… 29 { "_id" : ObjectId("53c698c51180cc552e79c12d"), "option-1" : 1249596, "option-2" : 341404, "option-3" : 466646, "questionName" : "question", "timeWindowType" : "ALL_TIME" }
- 30. Optimizations We didn’t get it perfect the first time: • Correct Indices - Index on created Date of Entry Collection. EnsureIndex is called during collection creation and update • Batch update of vote tallies - Update the count per second instead of per Entry • Hourly Stats – Pre-caluculating hourly totals saved resources during live events to get stats for past 24 hours, 7 days and 30 days 30
- 31. SPAM Prevention •De-duplicator processor: De-duplicates X number of entries for a defined period (eg. 30 Entries per minute). Internal to Funnel application •VERISIGN DDoS Protection service •Akamai WAF (part of Kona Web Application Firewall) •CAPTCHA •Authentication (FLUX - Viacom Internal System) 31
- 32. Before & After Previous Systems •Decentralized •Multiple Installations •Outdated App Server •Rigid Schema requiring rigid change control process 32 Funnel •Service Oriented •Performant •Flexible Schema; easily extended
- 33. Our Track Record •100+ Sites •15K Collections •10+ Billion Votes to date 33
- 34. Where else MongoDB is Used @ Viacom •Used in production since v 1.6 •Content Management System •Viacom Identity Platform (Auth & User Profiles) 34
- 35. Wait… 35
- 36. Who survived the Human Slime Carwash!?!?!? 36
- 37. Questions ? 37
