Painless Data Storage with MongoDB and Go
summary
Claim: Go plus MongoDB is fast to build with and practical in production. The demo uses the mgo driver to marshal Go structs to BSON, perform $set atomic updates, index array fields and nested documents, and use sessions for concurrent requests. Grid-style storage via GridFS and sharding/replica sets scale to thousand-node deployments (examples include Disney and MetLife). An experimental client-side transactions layer exists. The examples start from zero setup and run end to end.
