Collaboration for Breakfast: MongoDB and Partners Share AI Insights at AWS re:Invent
I’m old enough to remember when every tech conversation didn’t include the term “AI.” Hardly a day goes by without some mention of AI or generative AI (gen AI). But don’t just take my word for it: Google News search results for the phrase, “generative AI” have grown more than 2000% since ChatGPT was launched in November 2022. The AI excitement is more than just hype. For example, we’re seeing widespread adoption of AI across MongoDB’s tens of thousands of customers. Meanwhile, a recent GitHub survey showed 92% of developers have already incorporated gen AI into their work, and Gartner predicts that by 2027, 90% of new applications will incorporate machine learning models or services. MongoDB and our partners tapped into this excitement during AWS re:Invent. On November 29 — the same morning the company announced the integration of MongoDB Atlas Vector Search and Amazon Bedrock (and less than a week before Atlas Vector Search was made generally available ) — MongoDB held an AI-themed breakfast that reinforced the importance of partnerships during this transformative time. During the breakfast, MongoDB product leaders sat down with leaders from four of the company’s partners — Gradient, LangChain, Nomic, and Unstructured—to share insights about building the next generation of AI applications. Despite its 7 a.m. start time, the breakfast was packed with attendees from a range of industries and geographies — no small feat given re:Invent’s busy schedule — and excitement for AI was palpable. Given the broad interest in all things generative AI, organizations of all sizes want to learn how they can build the applications of tomorrow. This is where MongoDB and partners come in: MongoDB provides an integrated developer data platform that accelerates innovation by simplifying the application development process. To streamline AI innovation, MongoDB partners with organizations that offer complementary technology solutions, interoperability, flexibility, and reliability. Partnering to deliver a complete AI toolkit For example, Unstructured works with MongoDB to help organizations connect enterprise data stored in difficult formats like PDF and PNG to AI models. And the combination of MongoDB and LangChain's application framework makes it possible to build solutions that leverage proprietary company data. Meanwhile, with MongoDB Atlas Vector Search and Gradient , organizations can build, customize, and run private AI applications that leverage industry expert large language models (LLMs) to enhance performance. And last but hardly least, Nomic's tools allow users to visualize the unstructured data they store in MongoDB, to make AI more explainable and accessible. All told each partner’s offerings work with MongoDB products to create a comprehensive set of tools with which developers can build AI applications. At the breakfast, company leaders shared their thoughts on the current AI landscape, how their organizations collaborate with MongoDB, and what they see as the future of AI tools. “At AWS re:Invent, we showed how MongoDB is the best platform for building enterprise-ready generative AI apps,” said Andrew Davidson, senior vice president of product management at MongoDB. “Our powerful developer data platform — which works seamlessly with cutting-edge AI ecosystem partners to enable openly composable architecture and design — empowers developers to create compelling AI apps and experiences with greater interoperability, simplification, flexibility, and choice, pushing the boundaries of what's possible.” For example, LangChain Founding Software Engineer Jacob Lee noted that “it’s so, so early for generative AI. Most attendees at re:Invent had only just begun to consider principles and use cases for the technology. There is so much opportunity and potential impact yet to emerge that it will truly take the entire ecosystem's talents and creativity to explore it all.” “In short, the most important thing is to support each other and just keep building cool things,” said Lee. Brian Raymond, founder and CEO of Unstructured, agreed that it's very early for generative AI. "We should start seeing incremental, yet exciting, gains in the performance of multimodal foundation models as well as increased focus on smaller models that are cheaper to run at scale," Raymond added. "It's likely going to take more time to mature the emerging foundation model stack (marked by retrieval-augmented generation ) into a performant and cost-effective option for most organizations." Creating a seamless AI development experience Overall, the re:Invent breakfast conversation conversation highlighted how MongoDB and its partners are working together to create a holistic, seamless AI development experience. By working closely with partner organizations to augment its industry-leading solutions , MongoDB ensures enterprises have access to everything they need in one place to develop cutting-edge, modern AI applications that are scalable, secure, and enterprise-grade. “Gradient's mission is to democratize AI by making it more accessible to enterprises and developers,” said Chris Chang, CEO and co-founder of Gradient. “However in AI, data itself can be challenging which is why our partnership with MongoDB will allow users to make the most out of their data and leverage a best-of-breed technology to help power new AI features.” To learn more about MongoDB’s artificial intelligence solutions—including resources to build next-generation applications — visit MongoDB for Artificial Intelligence .

MongoDB Hosts First-Ever Events in ASEAN - Empowering Developers to Create, Transform, and Disrupt Industries
ASEAN countries present huge opportunities for businesses, with four of the top 10 economies by GDP in Asia Pacific belonging to the ASEAN region. In addition, IDC expects big data and analytics spending to grow by almost 20% from 2022 to reach $42.2 billion in 2023 in Asia Pacific. As more businesses invest in data, database management becomes critical to making smarter and more informed decisions. Increased demand for data management To meet this rising demand for data management in ASEAN countries, MongoDB has grown its employee base by more than 70% since January this year across all business functions, including solution architects, customer success, and professional services this year. This investment allows us to better serve our customers in the region, where our database management services attract more than 1,900 customers and see tens of thousands of downloads per month. Unleashing the power of data Access to data and the right skill sets are crucial for businesses to explore new opportunities and navigate new challenges. To better help developers address changing customer and market needs with modern applications, we held our MongoDB.local events for the first time in Bangkok, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, and Singapore. Taking place in September 2023, these events gathered luminaries, outstanding partners, and customers from different industries to share insights on how creating applications can transform workplaces and disrupt industries. The full-day events saw an overwhelming reception, with 1,500 attendees across all four cities who attended in keynote presentations, product demos, and networking sessions. Our customers, including AirAsia, Ascend Group, and TD Tawandang, took the stage to explain how MongoDB has helped them drive creativity, innovation, and productivity. AirAsia The pandemic forced travel and hospitality businesses to adapt to an entirely new market or risk falling behind. To diversify its revenue sources beyond flights, Malaysia’s largest airline quickly pivoted to a new business model offering a wide range of services including food delivery and private hire rides on its SuperApp. To deploy the app to market as quickly as possible, AirAsia needed a user-friendly and cost-efficient database solution. By using MongoDB Atlas, our multi-cloud database service that simplifies deploying and managing databases, on Google Cloud, AirAsia rapidly developed and launched its SuperApp without an extensive database team. MongoDB’s agility allowed AirAsia to control data platform costs while easily scaling with AirAsia's growing demands as the business continues to diversify. Ascend Group As a regional online conglomerate offering finance and retail solutions, Thailand-based fintech company Ascend needed to provide employees with a unified and consistent user experience when working with data to drive the customer experience. Using MongoDB Atlas, Ascend Group quickly developed and improved application agility and resilience across its affiliates, which is especially critical for its fast-moving e-commerce and retail businesses. For example, Ascend Group scaled its retail and e-commerce applications before the latest iPhone launch, avoiding website outages and delivering a better shopping experience when users ordered the new Apple devices. Ascend Group also uses MongoDB for real-time data analysis, allowing its Lotus retail business to better predict customer demand and optimise deliveries. Through these insights, Lotus can deliver fresh products to customers faster while providing real-time delivery updates on their orders. TD Tawandang As customers demand more personalised experiences , traditional retailers need to transform their business models. One of the fastest-growing retail technology companies in Thailand, TD Tawandang (TD) helps these retailers meet changing customer expectations. Its TD Retail platform includes a smart point of sale (POS) application that helps retailers automate stock replenishments and financial accounting, letting store owners focus on customer engagement and service instead of administrative work. Serving over 100,000 independent or family-owned small businesses, TD needed a scalable database solution that quickly provisions IT infrastructure on demand. As a growing business itself, the scalability of MongoDB on Google Cloud lets TD optimise cost while expanding the company’s transaction processing and real-time analytics capabilities. MongoDB has also encouraged innovation within the company, with TD releasing new features such as demand forecasting and fraud detection for TD Retail. These features give retailers an even stronger arsenal for tailoring the shopping experiences for their customers.

Cloud Strides at MongoDB.local Auckland
MongoDB.local Auckland was held earlier this week, and from the testimonies shared by our customers and partners to the announcements made by our global executives one thing is clear: there’s never been a greater need for strong cloud strategies to support data-driven businesses. Kiwi companies of all sizes, whether serving the New Zealand market or reaching a global audience, are avid users of cloud services and leading technologies such as MongoDB. Recent commitments from Microsoft, Amazon, and Google to build and run cloud regions in New Zealand will unlock a wide array of new use cases, especially when it comes to making it simpler to build and deploy cloud projects that need to meet growing data sovereignty requirements. Senior Account Executive Jake McInteer kicking off MongoDB.local Auckland Speaking at the event, Ben Cefalo (VP of Product Management, MongoDB) further announced MongoDB’s intention to fully support each of the cloud providers’ regions on MongoDB Atlas . This will bring a local presence for MongoDB’s leading cloud database platform which is already being used widely around the world and in New Zealand. It’s a great example of MongoDB’s commitment to meet customers where they are, and our multi-cloud strategy to be available in as many regions around the world as possible. MongoDB already counts a number of large enterprises as customers in New Zealand, as well as a growing number of public sector customers. One data sovereignty-sensitive customer is planning to deploy a major system in Microsoft's NZ North cloud region once it opens (slated for next year by Microsoft). They have been running development and test workloads out of Azure's New South Wales data centre, but are planning for Production go-live in New Zealand due to the sensitive nature of the data. MongoDB's advanced multi-cloud and multi-region features in Atlas have streamlined that department's development lifecycle and helped keep the project on track. MongoDB has been increasing its capabilities dedicated to the public sector, and we are expecting more exciting projects in this space in the coming years. Having recently completed the IRAP assessment in Australia also brings the added safety net for regulated industries in New Zealand that MongoDB is built for security, resilience and compliance. MongoDB’s New Zealand customer base also boasts some of New Zealand’s fastest-moving and best startups and is spread right across the country - with LuminPDF down south , Marsello in Wellington , and Figured in Auckland , just to name a few. At the MongoDB.local Auckland event, there were also presentations from a number of customers such as Canva, Cloudize, and LuminPDF. Michael Pearson (Software Engineer from Canva) presented his team’s challenges and triumphs operating at a massive scale - supporting 110 million monthly active users who collaborate across more than 15 billion designs, a scale very few companies and platforms have reached globally. It’s a great example of how MongoDB Atlas supports businesses as they scale to a global audience. Michael Pearson, Software Engineer from Canva We also heard from MongoDB partners such as Microsoft who presented their plans to open the New Zealand North Azure Cloud Region. This was a great example, alongside AWS and GCP’s commitments, of global tech platforms investing in the NZ Tech ecosystem - giant shoulders on which platforms like MongoDB Atlas can build upon. I also particularly enjoyed Erich Kuba (Founder at Cloudize) presenting on his experience trying to scale a spam filtering business on a relational database technology. His business got so big that it broke his database and ultimately his business failed - it was a pertinent reminder of the criticality of the work software engineers do and the importance that our technology choices take on. Overall MongoDB.local Auckland was an awesome event, showcasing the best of MongoDB and our community here in New Zealand - we can’t wait to see it back again next year.

Recap of Product Announcements at MongoDB.local NYC, 2023
This post is also available in: Deutsch , Français , Español , Português , 中文 Today at MongoDB.local NYC , we unveiled several new capabilities across our developer data platform to help users and customers build, iterate, and scale their applications with MongoDB. Development teams are being asked to deliver compelling and differentiated user experiences that are faster and smarter than ever before. At the same time, they must do so as quickly and as efficiently as possible. MongoDB’s developer data platform is essential for teams who strive to innovate quickly and efficiently. It allows developers to support a wide variety of application use cases in their organization through a unified API and eliminates the need to bolt-on, learn, and maintain separate database point solutions. Expanding the range of modern applications you can build on MongoDB A new generation of AI-powered experiences are being developed where vectors serve as a foundational element that makes these applications possible. Vectors are mathematical representations of the characteristics of unstructured data — including text, images, videos, audio files, and more — and occupy n-dimensional space where n is the number of characteristics in the dataset. Whether data is similar or not is based on the distance between vectors in this n-dimensional vector space. A vector database allows users to query vectors to determine what’s similar or related, without relying on keyword matching. Announced today , Atlas Vector Search allows you to store, index, and query vectors alongside your operational and transactional data in documents without the overhead of adding, learning, and maintaining another database system. The addition of vector search to MongoDB Atlas enables teams to deliver more relevant, context-aware results to end-users, including the ability to augment applications built on Large Language Models (LLMs) with proprietary data to improve accuracy and performance. Atlas Vector Search is available today in public preview. Applications today also need to be more real-time than ever, but processing streams of data and bringing them into applications is complex and challenging. Most organizations introduce a stream processing point solution with a different set of APIs, drivers, and tools that create a fragmented developer experience, operational complexity, and additional cost. Coming soon in private preview , Atlas Stream Processing will transform how development teams build event-driven applications. Developers can use the same query language and flexible document data model to work with both streaming data and their data in the database for use cases ranging from monitoring network traffic for intrusions to conducting live route planning based on current road conditions. Companies such as Albertsons , Glassdoor , and Anywhere Real Estate , the largest franchisor of residential real estate brands in the world, depend on Atlas Search to deliver full-text functionality in their applications without having to deploy and sync data from their database to a separate search engine. With new search query analytics , developers will gain insight into what their end users are searching for, enabling them to better refine and customize their search logic. In addition, Atlas Search indexes can now be created and managed in language drivers (starting with Node.js), MongoDB Compass , and the MongoDB Shell , making it easy for developers who prefer to work with their indexes programmatically. And finally, dedicated search nodes were announced today in private preview, which will enable teams to independently scale and optimize resources for their search workloads for improved performance at scale, higher availability, and faster index builds. Improving the foundation of performance, scale and security The work we’re putting into improving the performance, scalability, and security of our developer data platform is just as important as increasing its range of functional capabilities. Starting with MongoDB 7.0, improvements to query execution will reduce the number of disk reads, compute resources, and memory required to execute certain queries, delivering improved performance and more efficient resource consumption. In particular, the new query execution strategy will speed up grouping and reshaping documents, filtering and sorting documents, and $lookups used for joining data across collections. Last year we introduced queryable encryption in preview. This industry-first searchable encryption scheme allows users to encrypt sensitive data fields — such as personally identifiable information — client-side, and store that data as fully randomized encrypted data in the database, all while preserving the ability to run expressive queries. With MongoDB 7.0, queryable encryption will support equality search, with support for range, prefix, suffix, and substring queries to follow. MongoDB 7.0 will be generally available later this summer. Continued focus on a first-class developer experience Few things are more critical to software development than ensuring a top-notch developer and operational experience. We remain dedicated to improving the usability of our products and expanding the set of tools available to developers for building with MongoDB. Kotlin is emerging as a popular language for both mobile development and server-side development. Today we unveiled a new official Kotlin driver , allowing Kotlin developers to build applications on MongoDB with confidence, knowing we are committed to supporting this fast-growing language community. We also released PyMongoArrow , a new library for developers and data analysts to easily export data in MongoDB to Python-based analytics stacks, including Apache Arrow, Pandas, and NumPy. As more companies optimize their DevOps pipeline, tooling that enables programmatic automation can greatly improve efficiency and productivity. Developers can now provision resources on MongoDB Atlas using the Amazon Web Services Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) in C#, Go, Java, and Python, as well as with Node.js and Typescript. Companies who leverage Kubernetes can use the MongoDB Atlas CLI to install the Atlas Kubernetes Operator and export existing deployments for simpler infrastructure management and provisioning. Path to application modernization Application modernization continues to be a key investment for many enterprises to unlock rapid software iteration to meet ever-evolving application requirements. MongoDB Relational Migrator , now generally available , helps accelerate and de-risk migrations from common relational databases — including Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, and PostgreSQL — to MongoDB. Not only does this tool handle the data migration itself, it also allows migration teams to view MongoDB data modeling recommendations, define schema changes with a visual interface, and generate application code in their programming language or framework to get a head start on refactoring their applications to reflect the newly designed MongoDB schema.

MongoDB is Going on a World Tour
The last three years have been a rollercoaster for the world of events. Here at MongoDB that meant we went from taking everything virtual in 2020 to embracing a hybrid approach in 2021, and then coming back in a big way in 2022 with 14 live events around the globe attended by more than 4,500 members of the MongoDB community. We were so inspired by your enthusiasm to be back in person, sharing best practices and learning from one another. As a company we constantly seek feedback from our customers and our community to improve and innovate. Over this last year, we heard loud and clear that you love connecting with other MongoDB users and getting to network, learn, and engage locally. And that’s why we are excited to announce that we are expanding our MongoDB.local event series to over 30 cities across 19 countries around the globe. Instead of hosting a single flagship event — MongoDB World — this year we’re adopting a “local-first” strategy and bringing MongoDB to you. We can’t wait to bring even more of our community together globally to hear from successful customers, developers, and industry leaders to get an inside look at how to build the next big thing with MongoDB.
