The primary author of this guide works on a project which uses the ZODB and ZEO as its primary storage technology. We use the ZODB to store process runs and operations, a catalog of available processes, user information, accounting information, and other data. Part of the goal of writing this document is to make our experience more widely available. A few times we've spent hours or even days trying to figure out a problem, and this guide is an attempt to gather up the knowledge we've gained so that others don't have to make the same mistakes we did while learning.
This document will always be a work in progress. If you wish to suggest clarifications or additional topics, please send your comments to akuchlin@mems-exchange.org.
