How many objects per day is MongoDB capable of handling?

Question

I'm about to do some testing with MongoDB. Is the software capable of running an ingest rate of 1 billion objects per day? (~11.5k objects/second) Our hardware is a few years old but decent (multicore, > 8gb of ram, > 1tb storage).

Are there any specific best-practices for optimizing mongodb queries? Are there any methods or functions that are known to be slow?

Thanks, ~Kyte

Answer 1

Check out the mongodb web site for various best practices dealing with performance. Here is a start:

But to answer your question, there is nothing in the product that would prevent it from handling your load. THe rest depends on your documents, network, server hardware, etc.
