Dasadia Cyrus - MongoDB Cookbook

Cyrus Dasadia always liked tinkering with open source projects since 1996. He has been working as a Linux system administrator and part-time programmer for over a decade. He works at InMobi, where he loves designing tools and platforms. His love for MongoDB started in 2013, when he was amazed by its ease of use and stability. Since then, almost all of his projects are written with MongoDB as the primary backend. Cyrus is also the creator of an open source alert management system called CitoEngine. He likes spending his spare time trying to reverse engineer software, playing computer games, or increasing his silliness quotient by watching reruns of Monty Python.

To my wife, Nilu, provider of unconditional love and support; recipient of bad jokes.

I would like to thank everyone at Packt Publishing who has been involved with this book. It started when Luke Presland from Packt Publishing approached me to author a book on Mongo. I was skeptical to take up the opportunity due to other commitments and tight deadlines, but if it wasn't for my mom, friends, and office colleagues who convinced me to take up the opportunity, I would not have written this book. The chapters and content covered was a lot, and I had a tough time keeping up with the timelines. A special thanks to Priyanka, Rebecca, Mary, and Joel with whom I interacted the most; they were very flexible to my changes in delivery timelines. A big thanks to Douglas Duncan and other reviewers of the book for reviewing the book closely and helping improve the quality of the content drastically. Finally, I would like to thank the other staff at Packt Publishing who were involved in the book's publishing process but haven't interacted with me.
