Running MongoDB on ... Microsoft Azure
Very detailed explanation and code on setting up a Windows-based project using MongoDB and running it on Microsoft Azure Blob storage. I confess that Azure doesn’t really sound like the first pick one would make when using MongoDB, but that is exactly what made this article interesting!
I’ve been playing around with the whole CQRS[1] approach and think MongoDb works really well for the query side of things. I also figured it was time I tried Azure so I had a look round the web to see if there we’re instructions on how to run MongoDb on Microsoft’s Azure cloud[2].
