MongoDB Shard Key?

Technical Support

I'm looking to use Azure CosmosDB mongoDB API with more than 10GB, so I need a shard key to get unlimited storage. Is there anything I have to do with NodeBB for the shard key?

Also, I couldn't find this anywhere and have no forum experience, but excluding media, how much storage does a moderate forum take up?

Okay, Thanks for your phenomenal help, @pichalite.

Gonna mess around with this proxying and nginx a bit now that everything is moving forward again.

@julian said in Mongo vs Redis: which one is better for a huge community?:

64GB 😮 -- that is a lot of memory 😄

We host larger databases on much less RAM (as we're using a cloud provider and high memory installs are crazy expensive)...

There is definitely a speed difference though. Navigating between pages on here takes a split second longer than a Redis database... if you want to see NodeBB fly, use Redis.

@scottalanmiller was replying to somebody talking about a 50 GB data community though.

For anyone interested, I was able to trace some information down 😄

so using: "ps -xa | grep mongod" I was able to locate the config file for mongo in /etc/ (different than etc/)

if you open the config file (mongodb.conf) -- some use gedit (if your distro has it or not), I use vim: vim mongodb.conf

you can then find the path for the database =o -- for me that was: /var/lib/mongodb

Hope this helps if anyone stumbles across this post 🙂

ps:
If you're stuck in vim be sure to press "esc" on your keyboard, and then type ":q"

I would recommend looking up vim and how it works if you plan on editing files with it -- alternatively, you could use sftp if you're using a VPS.

Cheers!

Awesome, looking forward to that. Even more performance from the current architecture!! Love to see that. Although even now, the site screams.
