Can I configure MongoDB to be In-Memory?
I am interested in using a database that will allow high performance, with an expected requirement of cluster for a massive horizontal scaling. We are looking into using MongoDB, does anyone know if I can use it InMemory (i.e. in the RAM - for performance reasons)? Tnx SitnTheShade A performance boost approach you can take is to use a RAM disk e.g.: mongod --smallfiles --noprealloc --nojournal --dbpath <ramdisk mounted localtion> See also: http://edgystuff.tumblr.com/post/49304254688/how-to-use-mongodb-as-a-pure-in-memory-db-redis-style Create RAM Disk linux: https://unix.stackexchange.com
