As recently announced by Open Source database program provider
MongoDB, all key cloud platforms now offer MongoDB Atlas. With headquarters in New York, United States, MongoDB ‘is the next-generation database that helps businesses transform their industries by harnessing the power of data”. With over 9 million downloads, MongoDB is used by thousands globally and has over 1,000 technology and service partners. MongoDB Atlas is MongoDB’s ‘Cloud Database-as-a-Service’ solution. With the recent addition of Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Microsoft Azure, three of the world’s main public cloud platforms – including Amazon Web Services (AWS) – have made MongoDB Atlas available to their global customer bases.
MongoDB Atlas was established in June 2016 and has seen solid growth since inception. It was recognized in a recent Forrester Research report on the Database-as-a-Service market as “gaining quick momentum”. MongoDB Atlas “frees developers from worrying about operational tasks such as provisioning, configuration, patching, upgrades, backups, and failure recovery”, giving them more time to focus on application development. The solution offers a fault-tolerant and self-healing architecture that offers built in monitoring and ongoing backups. With MongoDB Atlas support development teams leveraging Azure and GCP can now benefit from MongoDB's “flexible data model and expressive query language”.
"MongoDB Atlas is the best-of-breed database for building modern applications, delivered as a secure, elastic, on-demand service offering," explained MongoDB Vice President of Cloud Products Sahir Azam. "By extending availability of MongoDB Atlas across AWS and now to Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure, we're ensuring that MongoDB users everywhere can easily leverage the database with the cloud services they want, all without worrying about the operational overhead of running the database according to best practices."
