Mongopress is a MongoDB-powered CMS developed by Mark Smalley, focused on offering a flexible and efficient alternative to traditional WordPress, which relies on MySQL. With features like schema-less data storage, fast querying, and robust customization options, it aims to simplify database management and enhance scalability for developers. Currently in early development stages, Mongopress has distinct capabilities such as geo-location support, media storage, and an easy installation process.

- 3. Or am I really introducing NoSQL…? “ NoSQL is an umbrella term for a loosely defined class of non-relational data stores that break with a long history of relational databases and ACID guarantees. Data stores that fall under this term may not require fixed table schemas, and usually avoid join operations.
- 4. “ Don’t empty my mind! I’ve spent my whole life filling it! ”
- 5. The right tools for the right job! ACID Compliance at Core is Cumbersome External Relationships are Complicated External Logic is Insane My Personal Preferences: Control Relationships & Logic from App Use Fast Database for Data Maintain Fewer Languages
- 6. What does this mean…? It means things are about to drastically change Developers can now control the entire process With incredible ease and in native ways… For example, with mongoDB, I can: Develop database via PHP and JavaScript Never worry about DB schemas again! Never leave my App – push changes from App
- 7. But why mongoDB…? OpenSource & Adaptive Production Proven Incredibly Fast Replica-Sets & Sharding Schema-less JSON-Data Advanced JS Queries Good Geo-Location Support GridFS Media Storage SQL Friendly
- 8. The History of MongoPress Started as a WordPress Plugin -- Where we initially hoped to filter SQL requests Almost Became a WordPress Fork -- In order to maintain the WordPress UI Now Stands Alone -- Finally realised we had the opportunity to start something unique
- 9. What’s wrong with WordPress…? It’s built on MySQL -- Which does not scale well (out-of-the-box) It’s built with MySQL in mind -- At core, it’s based on antiquated table architectures It’s built with PUBLISHING in mind -- At core, it’s a publishing platform
- 10. Enough Small Talk! What and Where is MongoPress…?
- 11. Important Disclaimer We’re only at Version 0.2.3 -- 23% towards our intended initial release Version 0.3 is a COMPLETE Re-Write -- Built from ground-up with frameworks and fully OOP-ed Dr. Hans Zarkov is Fictional -- We’ve been somewhat inspired by Flash Gordon
- 12. MongoPress Features It’s OpenSource -- Featuring a generous GPLv3 license and public access to SVN It’s Extremely Fast & Instantly Scalable -- Out-of-the-box support for replica-sets, sharding and even nginx It’s Incredibly Secure & Search Engine Friendly -- SHA(256) salted encryption and segregated user-data -- Filterable attribute tags for <a> and <img>
- 13. MongoPress Features It’s Completely Flexible & Entirely Customisable -- Admin pages, core structure & content can be added via themes It’s Fully Translatable -- WP Language API for methods such as __(‘return’) or _e(‘echo’) Scalable Media-Storage & Serving -- The media-gallery utilises GridFS and is backed-up and balanced -- With HTML5 drag-and-drop file uploading
- 14. MongoPress Features It’s Developer Friendly -- WP Plugin API for methods such as add_filter() and add_action() It Features Perma-Trails rather than Permalinks -- Create virtual structures with intelligent querying Geo-Location at Core -- Store coordinates for objects and perform location based queries It also has a (not-yet famous) 5 Second Install

- 23. Growing List of Hooks & Filters
- 24. Currently Included MU-Plugins contact_form - HTML5 / AJAX Powered rss - Includes - geoRSS Support ddos_protection - Experimental Firewall default_header - Uses GridFS Media analytics_footer - Google Only download_counter - Uses GridFS Media
