MongoDB has evolved significantly since its founding in 2007, addressing common myths surrounding its security, scalability, and performance. The database now provides robust security features, including encryption, flexible authentication, and auditing tools, to protect sensitive data. MongoDB Atlas enables seamless cross-cloud deployments, simplifying the process of deploying a single cluster across multiple clouds simultaneously. This eliminates operational complexity and allows for unmatched resiliency and flexibility in meeting regional and cloud provider preferences. Additionally, MongoDB's horizontal scaling capabilities are made easy with auto-scaling, and its performance is backed by incredible use cases, including Amadeus processing 630 million bookings per year. The latest version of MongoDB, 8.0, delivers significant improvements in read and write performance.
