This document discusses running MongoDB and Kubernetes together to enable lean and agile development. It proposes using Docker containers to package applications and leverage tools like Kubernetes for deployment, management and scaling. Specifically, it recommends: 1) Using Docker to containerize applications and define deployment configurations. 2) Deploying to Kubernetes where services and replication controllers ensure high availability and scalability. 3) Treating databases specially by running them as "naked pods" assigned to labeled nodes with appropriate resources. 4) Demonstrating deployment of a sample MEAN stack application on Kubernetes with MongoDB and discussing future work around experimentation and blue/green deployments.
