Public Preview: MongoDB Community Edition now offers native full-text and vector search
What it is: MongoDB now offers native full-text search and vector search capabilities in the source-available, free-to-use Community Edition. This public preview allows developers to build advanced search and AI-driven features like autocomplete, semantic retrieval, and hybrid search in their self-managed environments. These capabilities operate on a separate binary, mongot, that keeps indexes in sync through MongoDB Change Streams. With search and vector search capabilities integrated in Community Edition, developers can prototype and test powerful applications without needing an external search engine or vector database. Who it’s for: This is for developers, DBAs, and startups who use MongoDB Community Edition and want to build and test modern, AI-driven features in their self-managed environments without operational overhead and the synchronization tax of managing a separate search stack. Why it matters: By embedding full-text search and vector search capabilities into Community Edition, MongoDB simplifies data architecture, reduces costs, and accelerates development cycles. Developers can focus on building modern, innovative applications rather than managing additional infrastructure. Please note: this preview is intended for development and evaluation only (not production). For best performance, deploy search components on dedicated infrastructure. Once generally available, these capabilities will be licensed under the Server Side Public License (SSPL). How to get started: Click the documentation link below for a step-by-step guide on how to get started with search and vector search in MongoDB Community Edition.

MongoDB Application Modernization Platform (AMP) Now Available
What it is: MongoDB AMP (Application Modernization Platform) is a powerful combination of AI-powered tools, a proven framework, and experienced delivery engineers that helps organizations transform critical legacy applications. This isn't just a simple database migration; it's a full-stack modernization solution that revitalizes outdated user interfaces, refactors monolithic architectures into scalable microservices, and modernizes data infrastructure with MongoDB's flexible document model. Who it's for: MongoDB AMP is for business and technology leaders who are weighed down by legacy applications that drain budgets, stifle innovation, and create security risks. It's also for engineering teams struggling to maintain outdated applications that are difficult to enhance or adapt for modern use cases like generative AI. Why it matters: Modernization projects are often expensive, time-consuming, and risky. MongoDB AMP offers an accelerated approach that can reduce manual effort and deliver results up to 10 times faster than traditional methods, freeing up your team to focus on innovation instead of maintenance. This positions MongoDB as a strategic partner in modernization, helping you unlock new opportunities and build a future-ready, AI-powered foundation. How to get started: To learn more about how AMP can accelerate your modernization journey, contact your MongoDB account representative or visit the MongoDB website to connect with an expert.
