This week I am in Barcelona with some meetings, trainings and other fun activities with the Elastic crew. Yes, eating amazing ham is one of them :)
Since I wanted to get 110% of my stay here, we also arranged a meetup at Wallapop offices to meet the local community and talk about what’s going in the Elastic ecosystem and present all the amazing goodness we announced in our last Elastic{ON}.

Lately I have been playing a lot with Docker. I love the whole idea of containers, how you can easily deploy processes in an isolated environment with low resource overhead. In addition, I think another big win introduced by Docker is the image concept: a hermetically sealed portable file that contains all that you need to run your process or application: binaries, dependencies and configuration. Just beautiful!
Working at MongoDB means I need to run several mongod processes every day: to test a specific feature, to demo something, configuration example, etc.

Last Thursday I went to Kuala Lumpur invited by Mark Smalley to present at NoSQL Night event. It was a clear success with more than 150 attendees at the trendy Mindvalley offices with good pizzas and awesome tech people.
There was a common message across the four different sessions: there is no database perfect for all the possible scenarios. If you expect to have a single technology to solve all your problems then you are probably starting with the wrong foot.
