Ian Massingham, MongoDB and Robbie Belson, Verizon | MongoDB World 2022
>>Welcome back to NYC the Cube's coverage of Mongo DB 2022, a few thousand people here at least bigger than many people, perhaps expected, and a lot of buzz going on and we're gonna talk devs. I'm really excited to welcome back. Robbie Bellson who's the developer relations lead at Verizon and Ian Massingham. Who's the vice president of developer relations at Mongo DB Jens. Good to see you. Great >>To be here. >>Thanks having you. So Robbie, we just met a few weeks ago at the, the red hat summit in Boston and was blown away by what Verizon is doing in, in developer land. And of course, Ian, you know, Mongo it's rayon Detra is, is developers start there? Why is Mongo so developer friendly from your perspective? >>Well, it's been the ethos of MongoDB since day one. You know, back when we launched the first version of MongoDB back in 2009, we've always been about making developers lives easier. And then in 2016, we announced and released MongoDB Atlas, which is our cloud managed service for MongoDB, you know, starting with a small number of regions built on top of AWS and about 2,500 adoption events per week for MongoDB Atlas. After the first year today, MongoDB Atlas provides a managed service for MongoDB developers around the world. We're present in almost a hundred cloud regions across S DCP and Azure. And that adoption number is now running at about 25,000 developers a week. So, you know, the proof are in proof is really in the metrics. MongoDB is an incredibly popular platform for developers that wanna build data-centric applications. You just can't argue with the metrics really, >>You know, Ravi, sometimes there's an analyst who come up with these theories and one of the theories I've been spouting for a long time is that developers are gonna win the edge. And now to, to see you at Verizon building out this developer community was really exciting to me. So explain how you got this started with this journey. >>Absolutely. As you think about Verizon 5g edge or mobile edge computing portfolio, we knew from the start that developers would play a central role and not only consuming the service, but shaping the roadmap for what it means to build a 5g future. And so we started this journey back in late 20, 19 and fast forward to about a year ago with Mongo, we realized, well, wait a minute, you look at the core service offerings available at the edge. We didn't know really what to do with data. We wanted to figure it out. We wanted the vote of confidence from developers. So there I was in an apartment in Colorado racing, your open source Mongo against that in the region edge versus region, what would you see? And we saw tremendous performance improvements. It was so much faster. It's more than 40% faster for thousands and thousands of rights. And we said, well, wait a minute. There's something here. So what often starts is an organic developer, led intuition or hypothesis can really expand to a much broader go to market motion that really brings in the enterprise. And that's been our strategy from day one. Well, >>It's interesting. You talk about the performance. I, I just got off of a session talking about benchmarks in the financial services industry, you know, amazing numbers. And that's one of the hallmarks of, of Mongo is it can play in a lot of different places. So you guys both have developer relations in your title. Is that how you met some formal developer relations? >>We were a >>Program. >>Yeah, I would say that Verizon is one of the few customers that we also collaborate with on a developer relations effort. You know, it's in our mutual best interest to try to drive MongoDB consumption amongst developers using Verizon's 5g edge network and their platform. So of course we work together to help, to increase awareness of MongoDB amongst mobile developers that want to use that kind of technology. >>But so what's your story on this? >>I mean, as I, as I mentioned, everything starts with an organic developer discovery. It all started. I just cold messaged a developer advocate on Twitter and here we are at MongoDB world. It's amazing how things turn out. But one of the things that's really resonated with me as I was speaking with one of, one of your leads within your organization, they were mentioning that as Mongo DVIA developed over the years, the mantra really became, we wanna make software development easy. Yep. And that really stuck with me because from a network perspective, we wanna make networking easy. Developers are not gonna care about the internals of 5g network. In fact, they want us to abstract away those complexities so that they can focus on building their apps. So what better co-innovation opportunity than taking MongoDB, making software easy, and we make the network easy. >>So how do you think about the edge? How does you know variety? I mean, to me, you know, there's a lot of edge use cases, you know, think about the home Depot or lows. Okay, great. I can put like a little mini data center in there. That's cool. That's that's edge. Like, but when I think of Verizon, I mean, you got cell towers, you've got the far edge. How do you think about edge Robbie? >>Well, the edge is a, I believe a very ambiguous term by design. The edge is the device, the mobile device, an IOT device, right? It could be the radio towers that you mentioned. It could be in the Metro edge. The CDN, no one edge is better than the other. They're all just serving different use cases. So when we talk about the edge, we're focused on the mobile edge, which we believe is most conducive to B2B applications, a fleet of IOT devices that you can control a manufacturing plant, a fleet of ground and aerial robotics. And in doing so you can create a powerful compute mesh where you could have a private network and private mobile edge computing by way of say an AWS outpost and then public mobile edge computing by way of AWS wavelength. And why keep them separate. You could have a single compute mesh even with MongoDB. And this is something that we've been exploring. You can extend Atlas, take a cluster, leave it in the region and then use realm the mobile portfolio and spread it all across the edge. So you're creating that unified compute and data mesh together. >>So you're describing what we've been expecting is a new architecture emerging, and that's gonna probably bring new economics of new use cases, right? Where are we today in that first of all, is that a reasonable premise that this is a sort of a new architecture that's being built out and where are we in that build out? How, how do you think about the, the future of >>That? Absolutely. It's definitely early days. I think we're still trying to figure it out, but the architecture is definitely changing the idea to rip out a mobile device that was initially built and envisioned for the device and only for the device and say, well, wait a minute. Why can't it live at the edge? And ultimately become multi-tenant if that's the data volume that may be produced to each of those edge zones with hypothesis that was validated by developers that we continue to build out, but we recognize that we can't, we can't get that static. We gotta keep evolving. So one of our newest ideas as we think about, well, wait a minute, how can Mongo play in the 5g future? We started to get really clever with our 5g network APIs. And I, I think we talked about this briefly last time, 5g, programmability and network APIs have been talked about for a while, but developers haven't had a chance to really use them and our edge discovery service answering the question in this case of which database is the closest database, doesn't have to be invoked by the device anymore. You can take a thin client model and invoke it from the cloud using Atlas functions. So we're constantly permuting across the entire portfolio edge or otherwise for what it means to build at the edge. We've seen such tremendous results. >>So how does Mongo think about the edge and, and, and playing, you know, we've been wondering, okay, which database is actually gonna be positioned best for the edge? >>Well, I think if you've got an ultra low latency access network using data technology, that adds latency is probably not a great idea. So MongoDB since the very formative years of the company and product has been built with performance and scalability in mind, including things like in memory storage for the storage engine that we run as well. So really trying to match the performance characteristics of the data infrastructure with the evolution in the mobile network, I think is really fundamentally important. And that first principles build of MongoDB with performance and scalability in mind is actually really important here. >>So was that a lighter weight instance of, of Mongo or not >>Necessarily? No, not necessarily. No, no, not necessarily. We do have edge cashing with realm, the mobile databases Robbie's already mentioned, but the core database is designed from day one with those performance and scalability characteristics in mind, >>I've been playing around with this. This is kind of a, I get a lot of heat for this term, but super cloud. So super cloud, you might have data on Preem. You might have data in various clouds. You're gonna have data out at the edge. And, and you've got an abstraction that allows a developer to, to, to tap services without necessarily if, if he or she wants to go deep into the S great, but then there's a higher level of services that they can actually build for their customers. So is that a technical reality from a developer standpoint, in your view, >>We support that with the Mongo DB multi-cloud deployment model. So you can place Mongo DB, Atlas nodes in any one of the three hyperscalers that we mentioned, AWS, GCP or Azure, and you can distribute your data across nodes within a cluster that is spread across different cloud providers. So that kinds of an kind of answers the question about how you do data placement inside the MongoDB clustered environment that you run across the different providers. And then for the abstraction layer. When you say that I hear, you know, drivers ODMs the other intermediary software components that we provide to make developers more productive in manipulating data in MongoDB. This is one of the most interesting things about the technology. We're not forcing developers to learn a different dialect or language in order to interact with MongoDB. We meet them where they are by providing idiomatic interfaces to MongoDB in JavaScript in C sharp, in Python, in rust, in that in fact in 12 different pro programming languages that we support as a first party plus additional community contributed programming languages that the community have created drivers for ODMs for. So there's really that model that you've described in hypothesis exist in reality, using >>Those different Compli. It's not just a series of siloed instances in, >>In different it's the, it's the fabric essentially. Yeah. >>What, what does the Verizon developer look like? Where does that individual come from? We talked about this a little bit a few weeks ago, but I wonder if you could describe it. >>Absolutely. My view is that the Verizon or just mobile edge ecosystem in general for developers are present at this very conference. They're everywhere. They're building apps. And as Ian mentioned, those idiomatic interfaces, we need to take our network APIs, take the infrastructure that's being exposed and make sure that it's leveraging languages, frameworks, automation, tools, the likes of Terraform and beyond. We wanna meet developers where they are and build tools that are easy for them to use. And so you had talked about the super cloud. I often call it the cloud continuum. So we, we took it P abstraction by abstraction. We started with, will it work in one edge? Will it work in multiple edges, public and private? Will it work in all of the edges for a given region, public or private, will it work in multiple regions? Could it work in multi clouds? We've taken it piece by piece by piece and in doing so abstracting way, the complexity of the network, meaning developers, where they are providing those idiomatic interfaces to interact with our API. So think the edge discovery, but not in a silo within Atlas functions. So the way that we're able to converge portfolios, using tools that dev developers already use know and love just makes it that much easier. Do, >>Do you feel like I like the cloud continuum cause that's really what it is. The super cloud does the security model, how does the security model evolve with that? >>At least in the context of the mobile edge, the attack surface is a lot smaller because it's only for mobile traffic not to say that there couldn't be various configuration and human error that could be entertained by a given application experience, but it is a much more secure and also reliable environment from a failure domain perspective, there's more edge zones. So it's less conducive to a regionwide failure because there's so many more availability zones. And that goes hand in hand with security. Mm. >>Thoughts on security from your perspective, I mean, you added, you've made some announcements this week, the, the, the encryption component that you guys announced. >>Yeah. We, we issued a press release this morning about a capability called queryable encryption, which actually as we record this Mark Porter, our CTO is talking about in his keynote, and this is really the next generation of security for data stored within databases. So the trade off within field level encryption within databases has always been very hard, very, very rigid. Either you have keys stored within your database, which means that your memory, so your data is decrypted while it's resident in memory on your database engine. This allow, of course, allows you to perform query operations on that data. Or you have keys that are managed and stored in the client, which means the data is permanently OBS from the engine. And therefore you can't offload query capabilities to your data platform. You've gotta do everything in the client. So if you want 10 records, but you've got a million encrypted records, you have to pull a million encrypted records to the client, decrypt them all and see performance hit in there. Big performance hit what we've got with queryable encryption, which we announced today is the ability to keep data encrypted in memory in the engine, in the database, in the data platform, issue queries from the client, but use a technology called structural encryption to allow the database engine, to make decisions, operate queries, and find data without ever being able to see it without it ever being decrypted in the memory of the engine. So it's groundbreaking technology based on research in the field of structured encryption with a first commercial database provided to bring this to market. >>So how does the mobile edge developer think about that? I mean, you hear a lot about shifting left and not bolting on security. I mean, is this, is this an example of that? >>It certainly could be, but I think the mobile edge developer still stuck with how does this stuff even work? And I think we need to, we need to be mindful of that as we build out learning journeys. So one of my favorite moments with Mongo was an immersion day. We had hosted earlier last year where we, our, from an enterprise perspective, we're focused on BW BS, but there's nothing stopping us. You're building a B2C app based on the theme of the winner Olympics. At the time, you could take a picture of Sean White or of Nathan Chen and see that it was in fact that athlete and then overlaid on that web app was the number of medals they accrued with the little trumpeteer congratulating you for selecting that athlete. So I think it's important to build trust and drive education with developers with a more simple experience and then rapidly evolve overlaying the features that Ian just mentioned over time. >>I think one of the keys with cryptography is back to the familiar messaging for the cloud offloading heavy lifting. You actually need to make it difficult to impossible for developers to get this wrong, and you wanna make it as easy as possible for developers to deal with cryptography. And that of course is what we're trying to do with our driver technology combined with structure encryption, with query encryption. >>But Robbie, your point is lots of opportunity for education. I mean, I have to say the developers that I work with, it's, I'm, I'm in awe of how they solve problems and I, and the way they solve problems, if they don't know the answer, they figure out how to go get it. So how, how are your two communities and other communities, you know, how are they coming together to, to solve such problems and share whether it's best practices or how do I do this? >>Well, I'm not gonna lie in person. Events are a bunch of fun. And one of the easiest domain knowledge exchange opportunities, when you're all in person, you can ideate, you can whiteboard, you can brainstorm. And often those conversations are what leads to that infrastructure module that an immersion day features. And it's just amazing what in person events can do, but community groups of interest, whether it's a Twitch stream, whether it's a particular code sample, we rely heavily on digital means today to upscale the developer community, but also build on by, by means of a simple port request, introduce new features that maybe you weren't even thinking of before. >>Yeah. You know, that's a really important point because when you meet people face to face, you build a connection. And so if you ask a question, you're more likely perhaps to get an answer, or if one doesn't exist in a, in a search, you know, you, oh, Hey, we met at the, at the conference and let's collaborate on this guys. Congratulations on, on this brave new world. You're in a really interesting spot. You know, developers, developers, developers, as Steve bomber says screamed. And I was glad to see Dave was not screaming and jumping up and down on the stage like that, but, but the message still resonates. So thank you, definitely appreciate. All right, keep it right there. This is Dave ante for the cubes coverage of Mago DB world 2022 from New York city. We'll be right back.

Ian Massingham, MongoDB | AWS Summit SF 2022
>>Okay, welcome back everyone. Cube's coverage here. Live on the floor at AWS summit, 2022, an in person event in San Francisco. Of course, AWS summit, 2022 in New York city is coming up this summer. The cube will be there as well. Make sure you check us out then too, but we day two of coverage had a great guest here. I Han VP of developer relations, Mongo DB, formally of AWS. We've been known each other for a long time doing, uh, developer relations at Mongo DB. Welcome to the queue. Good to see >>You. Thank to be here. Thanks for inviting me, John. It's great >>To, so Mongo DB is, um, first of all, stocks' doing really well right now. Businesswise is good, but I still think it's undervalue. A lot of people think is, is a lot more going huge success with Atlas. So congratulations to the team over there. Um, what's the update? What's the relationship withs, you know, guys have been great partners for years. What's the new thing. Yeah. >>So MongoDB Atlas obviously runs on several different major cloud providers, but AWS is the largest partner that we work with in the public cloud. So the majority of our Atlas workloads for our customers are running on the AWS platform. And just earlier this year, we announced a new strategic collaboration agreement with AWS. That's gonna further strengthen and deepen that partnership that we have with them. >>What's the main product value right now on the scale on, on Atlas, what's the drive in the revenue momentum. >>So, I mean, you know, there's a huge trend in the industry towards cloud managed databases, right? You look back 10, 15 years ago when we first met, most customers were only and operating their own data infrastructure, either running it in their own data centers, or maybe if they were really early using the primitives that cloud providers like AWS offered to run their databases in the cloud when Amazon launched RDS back in 2009, I think it was, we started to see this trend towards cloud managed databases. We followed that with our own Atlas offering back in 2016. And as Andy jazzy from AWS would say very often it's offloading that UND differentiated, heavy lifting, allowing developers to focus on building applications. They don't have to win and operate the data infrastructure. We do it for them, and that has proven incredibly popular amongst our customers. You know, Atlas route right now is growing at 50, sorry, 85% car year on year growth. >>You know, um, I've been following MongoDB for a long, long time. I mean, going back to the lamp stack days, you know, and you think about what Mongo has done as a product because of the developer traction, you know, Mongo can't do this, just keeps getting better every year. And, and the, I think the stickiness with developers is a real big part of that. Can you your view there cuz you're in VE relations. I mean, developers all love Mongo. They're teaching in school. People are picking up a side hustles, they're coding on it, using it all everywhere. I mean it's well known. >>There's a few different reasons for that. I think the main one is the, the document orientated model that we use, the document data models that are used by Mongo DB, just a net way for developers to work with data. And then, uh, we've invested in creating 16 first party drivers that allow developers using various different programming languages, whether that's JavaScript or Python or rust to integrate MongoDB, natively and idiomatic with their software. So it's very, very easy for a developer to pick up MongoDB, grab one of these drivers from their package manager of their choice and then build applications that natively manipulate data inside MongoDB, whether that's MongoDB Atlas or our enterprise edition on their own premises. They get a very consistent and very easy to, I easy to use developer experience with our, with our platform. >>Talk about the go to market with AWS. You guys also have a tightly coupled relationships. There's been announcements there recently. Uh, what's changing most right now that people should pay attention to. Well, >>The first thing is there's a huge amount of technical integration between MongoDB and AWS services. And that's the basis for many of our customers choosing to run Mon Mongo DB on AWS. We're active in 23 AWS regions around the world. And there's many other integration points as well, like cryptographic protection of Mongo MongoDB, stored data using Amazon cryptographic services, for example, or building serverless applications with AWS Lambda and MongoDB servers. So there's a ton of technical integration. Yeah, but what we started to work on now is go to market integration with AWS as well. So you can buy Mongo DB Atlas through AWS's marketplace. You can use the payer, you go offering to pay for it with your AWS bill. And then we're collaborating with AWS on migrations and other joint go to market activities as well. That >>Means get incentives, the sales people at AWS. >>Of course our moreover I mean, it's just really easy for customers, really easy for developers to consume. Yeah, they don't need to contract with MongoDB. They can use their existing AWS contracting, their existing discounting relationships and pre purchasing arrangements with AWS to consume Atlas. >>It's the classic meet the customers where they >>Are exactly right. Meet the developer where they are and meet the customers where they are now with this new model as well. >>Yeah. I love marketplace. I think it's been great. You know, even with its kind of catalog and vibe, I think it's gonna get better and better, uh, over there teams doing good work. Um, and it's easy to consume. That's key. >>Yeah. Super easy. Reduce that friction and make it real easy for developers to adopt this. Right. >>Talk about some of the top customers that you guys share with AWS. What are some of the customers you guys have together and what the benefits of the >>Relationship joint references that we talk about? A lot, one of them is Shutterfly. So in the photographic products area, they built a eCommerce offering with MongoDB and AWS. The second is seven 11 with seven 11. We're doing a lot in the mobile space. So edge applications, we've got a feature in MongoDB Atlas that allows you to synchronize data with databases on mobile devices. Those can be phones point of sale devices or handheld devices that might be used in the parcel industry, for example. So seven 11 using us in that way. And then lastly with Pitney Bowes, we've got a big digital transformation project with Pitney Bowes where they've reimagined their, uh, postage and packaging services, delivering those to their customers, using MongoDB as a data store as well. >>I wanna get in some of the trends, you've got a great per you know, you know, Mongo from Amazon side and now you're there. Um, Mongo's, as you pointed out has, has been around for a long time. What are some of the stats? I mean, how many customers, how many countries? Well, it's pretty massive >>Mind. We've got almost quarter of a billion downloads today, 240 million MongoDB downloads since we launched the first product <laugh>, we've got 33,000 active customers that are using MongoDB Atlas today and we're running well over a million free tier clusters on MongoDB Atlas across all of the different providers where we operate the service as well. So these numbers are, you know, mind blowing in terms of scale. Uh, but of course at the core of that is operational excellence. Customers love Mongo DBS because they don't have to operate it themselves. They don't have to deal with fairly conditions. They don't have to deal with scaling. They don't have to deal with deployment. We all, we do all of those things as part of the service offering and customers get an endpoint that they can use with their applications to store and retrieve data reliably. And with consistently high perform, >>You know, it's, you know, in the media, something has to be dead. Someone's the death of the iPhone, the death of this, nothing that really dies. Mongo DB has always been kind of like talked about, well, it doesn't scale on the high end. Of course, Oracle was saying that, I mean, all the, all the big database vendors were kind of throwing darts at, at Mongo, uh, DB, uh, but it kept scaling. Atlas is a whole nother. Could you just unpack that a little bit more? Why is it so important? Because scale is just, I mean, it's, it's horizontal, but it's also performant. >>Exactly. Right. So with, uh, Mongo DB's document access model that I've described already, you break some of the limitations that exist inside traditional relational databases. So, you know, they don't scale well, if you've got high concurrent and see of data access, and they're typically difficult and expensive to scale because you need to share data. Once you grow beyond individual cluster nodes, and you'll know that all relational databases suffer from these same kinds of issues with non relational systems, no SQL systems like MongoDB, you have to think a little bit more about design at the beginning. So designing database to cater for the different access patterns that you have, but in return for that upfront preparation, that design work, you get near limitless, scalability and performance will scale nearly linearly with that scalability as well. So very much more high performance, very much more simplicity for the developer as their database gets larger and their cluster gets larger to support it. >>Yeah. You know, Amazon web service has always had an a and D jazz. We talk to us all the time, every interview I've done with Swami and Matt wood or whoever on the team and executive levels always said the same thing. There's not one database to rule the world, right? Obvious you're talking about Oracle, but even within AWS customers, they're mixing and matching databases based on use cases. So in distributed environment, they're all working together. So, um, you guys fit nicely into that. So how does that, >>I think strategy slightly counterbalances that so, you know, they would say use the specific tool for the specific task that you have in hand. Yeah. What we try to focus on is creating the simple and most effective developer experience that we can, and then supporting different facets to the product in order to allow developers to different use cases. A really good example with something like MongoDB Atlas search. So we integrated Apache Luine into MongoDB Atlas. Customers can very simply apply Apache Luine search indexes to the data that they've got in MongoDB. And then they can interact with that search data using the same drivers as an API. Yeah, yeah. That they use for regular queries. So if you want to run search on your application data, you don't need a separate open search or elastic search cluster, just turn on MongoDB Atlas search and use that, that search facet. So it's interest and we have other capabilities that it's >>Vertically integrating inside within Mongo, >>Correct? Yes. That's better. Yeah. With the guy, all of creating a really simple and effective developer experience, boosting developer productivity and helping developers get more done in less time. >>You mentioned serverless earlier, what's the serverless angle with AWS when Mongo, >>Is there one? Yeah. So we have MongoDB serverless currently in preview, uh, has the same kind of characteristics that you would, or the characteristics that you would expect from a serverless data base. So consumption based model, you provision an endpoint and that will scale elastically in accordance with your usage and you get billed by consumption units so much like the serverless paradigm that we've seen delivered by AWS, the same kind of model for Mongo, DB, Atlas serverless. >>What, what attracted you to Mongo DBS? So you knew them before, or you moved over there. Um, what's going on there? What's the culture like right now? Oh, >>The culture's great. I mean, it's a much smaller company than AWS where I was before, you know, it's a very large organization. And one of the things that I really like about MongoDB is, as I've said earlier, we can serve the different use cases that a developer might have with a single product, with different aspects, to it, different facets to it. Uh, and it's a really great conversation to have with a, with a developer, with a developer customer, to be able to offer one thing that helps them solve five or six different problems that have traditionally been quite hard for them to wrestle with quite difficult for them to, to deal with. And then we've got this focus on developer experience through these driver packages that we have as well. So it's really great to have as a developer relations pro have that kind of tooling in my kit bag that can help developers become more effective. >>Talk about tooling, cuz you know, I always have, uh, kind of moments where I waffle between more. I love platforms, tools are being over overused, too many tools tool with the tool, you know, the expressions, but we're seeing from developers, the ones that don't want to go into the hood, we serverless plays beautifully. Yep. They want tools. They do. And, and the, the new engineering developers that are coming outta college and universities, they love tools. >>Yeah. And we actually have quite a few of those built into Mongo, DB Atlas. So inside Mongo, DB Atlas, we've got things like an index optimizer, which will suggest the best way that you might index your data for better perform months inside MongoDB, running on Atlas, we've got a data Explorer, which is much like another product that we've got called MongoDB compass that allows you to see and manipulate the data that you have stored within your database natively within the Atlas interface. Uh, and then we also have, uh, whole slew of different metrics, monitoring capabilities built into the platform as well. So these are aspects of Atlas that developers can take advantage of. And then over on the client side, visual studio code plugins. Yeah. So you can manipulate and operate with data directly inside visual studio code, which is obviously the most common and popular IDE out there today, as well as integration with things like infrastructure is code tools. So we support cloud formation for provisioning. We have CDK constructs inside. Yeah. The CDK construct library. We also have a lot of customers using Terraform to provision MongoDB across both AWS and other providers. So having that developer tooling of course is super important. Yeah. Aspect of the developer experience, trying to >>Build out deploying observability is a big one. How does that fit in? Cuz you knew need to talk and not only measure everything here, but talk to other systems. >>Yeah. So we recently announced a provider for Prometheus and Grafana. So we can emit metrics into those providers. Obviously CNCF projects, very common and popular inside customers that are running on Kubernetes. We've got a Kubernetes operator for MongoDB Atlas as well. Good. So you can provision MongoDB Atlas from within Kubernetes as well as having our own native metrics directly within Atlas as well. >>Ian you're crushing it. You got all the, the data, the fingertips. Are you gonna be at Cuban this year? Uh, >>I will be, but some of our team members will definitely be there. >>Yeah, we'll be at, uh, EU. The cube will be there. Great. Thanks for coming on. Appreciate the insight final world. I'll give you the last word. Tell the audience what's going on. What's at Mongo DB. What should they pay attention to? If they've used Mongo and are aware of it? What's the update. What's >>The so you should come to MongoDB world actually in New York at the beginning of June, June 7th, the ninth in the Javit center in New York. Gonna have our own show there. And of course we'd love to see you there. >>Okay. Cube comes here day two of eight, us summit, 2020, this Cub I'm John for your host. Stay with us more. Our coverage as day two winds down. Great coverage.
SUMMARY :
Make sure you check Thanks for inviting me, John. So congratulations to the team over there. That's gonna further strengthen and deepen that partnership that we have with them. So, I mean, you know, there's a huge trend in the industry towards cloud managed databases, right? I think the stickiness with developers is a real big part of that. or Python or rust to integrate MongoDB, natively and idiomatic with their software. Talk about the go to market with AWS. And that's the basis for many of our customers choosing to run Mon Mongo DB on AWS. Yeah, they don't need to contract with MongoDB. Meet the developer where they are and meet the customers where they are now with this new model as well. You know, even with its kind of catalog and vibe, Reduce that friction and make it real easy for developers to adopt this. Talk about some of the top customers that you guys share with AWS. Atlas that allows you to synchronize data with databases on mobile devices. Um, Mongo's, as you pointed out has, has been around for a long time. part of the service offering and customers get an endpoint that they can use with their applications to store and You know, it's, you know, in the media, something has to be dead. cater for the different access patterns that you have, but in return for that upfront preparation, So, um, you guys fit nicely into that. the specific task that you have in hand. boosting developer productivity and helping developers get more done in less time. that you would, or the characteristics that you would expect from a serverless data base. So you knew them before, or you moved over Uh, and it's a really great conversation to have with a, Talk about tooling, cuz you know, I always have, uh, kind of moments where I waffle between more. So you can manipulate and operate with data directly inside visual studio code, Cuz you knew need to talk and not only measure everything So you can provision MongoDB Are you gonna be at Cuban this year? I'll give you the last word. And of course we'd love to see you there. Stay with us more.
