(NASDAQ: MDB), the leading, modern general purpose data platform, today announced new cloud services and features that will provide a better way to work with data beyond the database. The Beta versions of MongoDB Atlas Data Lake and MongoDB Atlas Full-Text Search allow users to access compelling new features in a fully managed MongoDB environment with no additional infrastructure or systems to manage. Furthermore, the general availability of MongoDB Charts lets customers create charts and graphs, build and share dashboards and embed them directly into web apps to create more engaging user experiences. \n\nMongoDB Atlas Data Lake allows customers to quickly query data on S3 in any format, including JSON, BSON, CSV, TSV, Parquet and Avro, using the MongoDB Query Language (MQL). Full-Text Search gives end users the flexibility to filter, rank and sort through their data to quickly surface the most relevant results, without having to pair their database with an external search engine and be forced to learn, scale, manage and support two entirely separate systems. MongoDB Charts is generally available to both Atlas and on-premises customers, providing them with the fastest and easiest way to create real-time visualizations of MongoDB data. \n\n“Our new offerings radically expand the ways developers can use MongoDB to better work with data,” said Dev Ittycheria, CEO and President, MongoDB. “We strive to help developers be more productive and remove infrastructure headaches --- with additional features along with adjunct capabilities like full-text search and data lake. IDC predicts that by 2025 global data will reach 175 Zettabytes and 49% of it will reside in the public cloud. It’s our mission to give developers better ways to work with data wherever it resides, including in public and private clouds.”\n\nExtend the Popularity of MQL\n\nDevelopers love the MongoDB Query Language because it is so expressive, allowing them to query data any way they want – from simple lookups and range queries to creating sophisticated processing pipelines for data analytics and transformations, JOINs, geospatial processing and graph traversals. By bringing the MongoDB Query Language to the MongoDB Atlas Data Lake, developers can now use that same query language across data on S3, making querying massive data sets easy and cost-effective. \n\nGive Developers the Best Data Lake for Cloud\n\nMore and more data is being stored in the cloud. However, the complexity of Hadoop and the rigidity of traditional data warehouses make it increasingly difficult and expensive to get value from rich, modern data in the cloud. \n\nWith MongoDB Atlas Data Lake, customers simply need to provide access to existing S3 storage buckets with a few clicks from the MongoDB Atlas console and they can run queries and explore their data using the power of MQL. Atlas Data Lake is completely serverless, so there is no infrastructure to set up, manage or optimize, and customers pay only for the queries they run when actively working with the data. Availability of MongoDB Atlas Data Lake on Google Cloud Storage and Azure Storage is planned for the future. \n\nRemove Search Complexity with Atlas Full-Text Search\n\nAtlas Full-Text Search provides rich text search capabilities based on Apache Lucene 8 against fully managed MongoDB databases with no additional infrastructure or systems to manage. Once indexes have been created using either the Atlas UI or API, developers can run sophisticated search queries using MQL, saving significant effort, time, and money. \n\nVisualize MongoDB Data Natively\n\nVisualizing data using charts, maps and dashboards is essential in order to unlock business insights from massive data collections and make them accessible to users. Available as a managed service in MongoDB Atlas, or downloadable to run on-premises, MongoDB Charts includes powerful new features, such as: \n

Embedded charts in external web applications
Geospatial data visualization with new map charts
Built-in workload isolation to eliminate the impact of analytics queries on an operational application

(NASDAQ: MDB), the leading, modern general purpose data platform, today announced the future of mobile and web development by unveiling the product vision for Realm, a company it acquired in May of 2019. The popular mobile database and synchronization platform will merge with the serverless platform MongoDB Stitch under the Realm brand to give developers a better way to work with data all the way through the application lifecycle – from the front to the backend. \n\n“The founding principle of MongoDB was to give developers a better database so they could focus on building great applications. We realized that by acquiring Realm we can extend that mission further up the development stack for data-intensive web and mobile applications,” said Eliot Horowitz, CTO and co-founder, MongoDB. \"By combining Realm’s wildly popular mobile database and synchronization platform with the strengths of Stitch, we will eliminate a lot of work for developers by making it natural and easy to work with data at every layer of the stack, and to seamlessly move data between devices at the edge to the core backend.”\nRealm’s synchronization protocol will connect with the MongoDB Atlas global cloud database on the backend, making Realm Sync a powerful way for developers to connect data to the devices running their applications. As a part of MongoDB, Realm is positioned to become the default database for mobile developers and the easiest way to build real-time data applications in the browser, and in iOS and Android devices. \n\n“In the same way that MongoDB made clear that the old tabular, relational database model was not appropriate for working with modern data, Realm created a better solution on the mobile side than both embedded relational databases and proprietary data stores used at the edge. That natural harmony makes us very excited about what the combined power of Realm and MongoDB is going to do for developers,” said Alex Stigsen, CTO, Realm. “Both sides of this acquisition are obsessed with making data easier to work with so developers can build better applications, faster. Longtime fans of Realm are going to love the new capabilities we are now able to offer and we are excited to reach an even wider audience of mobile and web developers.” \n\nDevelopers should expect increased investments to the core Realm database and to have access to the new Realm Sync in 2020. \n\nResources\n

(NASDAQ: MDB), the leading, modern, general purpose data platform, today announced the latest version of its core database, [MongoDB 4.2](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/release-notes/4.2/). Key features such as [distributed transactions](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/core/transactions/index.html), [field level encryption](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/core/security-client-side-encryption/index.html) and an updated [Kubernetes Operator](https://docs.mongodb.com/kubernetes-operator/stable/#) raise MongoDB’s established reputation for supporting a wide variety of use cases for thousands of customers, which range from innovative cloud-native startups to the largest global enterprises.\n\nDistributed transactions, which extend multi-document ACID guarantees from replica sets to sharded clusters, give customers an easier way to address a complete range of use cases by enforcing transactional guarantees across highly scaled, global applications. Field Level Encryption enables users to have encrypted fields on the server—stored in-memory, in system logs, at-rest and in backups—which are rendered as ciphertext, making them unreadable to any party who does not have client access or the keys necessary to decrypt the data. The Kubernetes control plane allows users to have full management over their MongoDB deployment for a consistent experience anywhere, including on-premises infrastructure, private and hybrid cloud, or public cloud.\n\n“When we founded MongoDB, we wanted to give developers an easier way to work with data - wherever it lived in the stack,” said Eliot Horowitz, CTO and co-founder, MongoDB. “To be able to provide great new features that will make them more productive so they can spend less time wrestling with data and more time building great applications is extremely gratifying. Most importantly, these features work and feel like the tools they are already used to so they will experience a vastly improved database experience with a short learning curve.”\n\nDistributed Transactions \n\nMongoDB introduced multi-document ACID transactions in the release of MongoDB 4.0, providing a consistent view of data across replica sets and enforcing all-or-nothing execution to maintain data integrity. Combined with the power of the document model and its distributed systems architecture, developers can easily modernize existing legacy apps and build new transactional services. Distributed Transactions maintain an identical syntax to the transactions introduced in MongoDB 4.0. They are multi-statement and enforce snapshot isolation, making them familiar to any developer with prior transaction experience. The API and implementation is consistent whether executing transactions across documents, collections and databases in a replica set, or across a sharded cluster. Full atomicity is maintained – if a transaction fails to commit on one shard, it will abort on all participant shards.\n\nThe Next Level in Enterprise-Grade Security\n\nMongoDB 4.2’s implementation of Field Level Encryption is a different and more comprehensive approach than column encryption used in legacy, relational databases. It is totally separated from the database, transparent to the server and handled exclusively within the MongoDB drivers on the client. Most databases handle encryption on the server-side, which means data is still accessible to administrators who have access to the database instance itself, even if they have no client access privileges. Field Level Encryption changes that.\n\nAdvantages of MongoDB Field Level Encryption include:\n

Automatic, transparent encryption: Application code can run unmodified for most database read and write operations. Other client-side approaches require developers to modify their query code to use the explicit encryption functions and methods in a language SDK.
Separation of duties: System administrators who traditionally have access to operating systems, the database server, logs, and backups cannot read encrypted data unless explicitly given client access along with the keys necessary to decrypt the data.
Regulatory Compliance: Facilitate compliance with “right to be forgotten” requests in privacy regulations such as GDPR – simply destroy the customer key and the associated personal data is rendered useless.

\n\n“We partnered with two of the world’s leading authorities on database cryptography, including a co-author of the IETF Network Working Group Draft on Authenticated AES encryption, to develop Field Level Encryption,” said Lena Smart, CISO, MongoDB. “Drawn from academia and industry, these teams have provided expert guidance on MongoDB’s Field Level Encryption design and reviewed the Field Level Encryption software implementation.”\n\nFull control from a single Kubernetes plane\n\nUsers can now manage their MongoDB deployment from a single Kubernetes control plane. On self-managed infrastructure – whether on-premises or in the cloud – Kubernetes users can use the MongoDB Enterprise Operator for Kubernetes and MongoDB Ops Manager to automate and manage MongoDB clusters. Developers can use the operator with upstream Kubernetes, or with popular distributions such as Red Hat OpenShift and Pivotal Container Service (PKS).\n\nFurther Resources\n

Following an extensive audit process, the certification was issued by Schellman & Company LLC, an ANAB and UKAS Accredited Certification Body based in the United States.\n\nISO/IEC 27001 is a globally recognized standard mandating numerous controls for the establishment, maintenance and certification of an information security management system (ISMS). MongoDB’s ISO/IEC 27001 certification specifies a host of technical, administrative and physical controls designed to secure MongoDB’s own information, as well as customer and employee information within the context of overall business risks. MongoDB received the certification upon its first attempt, showcasing the completeness and rigor of its information security program.\n\n“ISO 27001 certification is one of the strongest signals of a mature information security management system,” said Joel Anderson, Vice President of Technical Operations, MongoDB. “Protecting our customer’s data is a top priority for us, and this achievement further validates why some of the largest companies in the most regulated and sensitive industries work with MongoDB.”\n\nAdditionally, MongoDB has received Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) [approval](https://public.cyber.mil/stigs/downloads/) from the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). This approval allows U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) agencies to deploy MongoDB within certain DoD networks. MongoDB is the first non-relational database on the market to earn a STIG. \n\n“This STIG approval is the latest validation that MongoDB is committed to government-grade benchmarks that help ensure workloads can be safely deployed and monitored for even high-risk environments,” said Davi Ottenheimer, Vice President of Trust and Digital Ethics. “Government agencies--as well as our enterprise customers--can make full use of MongoDB’s performance advantages for agile development while knowing they have industry-leading security operations capabilities at their disposal.”\n\nSTIGs are the configuration standards for DoD Information Assurance (IA) and IA-enabled devices and systems. Since 1998, DISA has played a critical role enhancing the security posture of DoD's security systems by providing STIGs. STIGs contain technical guidance to \"lock down\" information systems and software that might otherwise be vulnerable to a malicious computer attack.\n \n**About MongoDB**\n\nMongoDB is the leading modern, general purpose database platform, designed to unleash the power of software and data for developers and the applications they build. Headquartered in New York, MongoDB has more than 14,200 customers in over 100 countries. The MongoDB database platform has been downloaded over 65 million times and there have been more than one million MongoDB University registrations.\n","script":"","updated_at":"2019-06-10T10:41:13.117Z","updated_by":"5942eb049ee8c60a03868b8c","created_at":"2019-06-10T10:41:13.117Z","created_by":"5942eb049ee8c60a03868b8c"}],"press_release_count":10158,"on_stage_event":[{"_id":"56d6007d6d6f6e4ccb2a0000","region":"ROW","url_type":"external","impressions":0,"status":"published","created_by":"55661a306d6f6e5584060000","node_type":"on_stage_event","title":"MongoDB's
