10 Years of MongoDB Atlas: Built for What’s Next
Nearly a decade ago, I joined MongoDB as a Senior Product Manager to help build the company’s new cloud product, MongoDB Atlas. Our customers had been telling us they wanted to bring MongoDB’s familiar developer experience to the cloud, with the reliability and confidence teams needed to run in production. Atlas was our answer. Today, we’re celebrating 10 years of MongoDB Atlas, the generational data platform for AI applications, and the customers who pushed us to build it. Atlas was shaped in c

Build Trust in Agentic AI: From POC to Production
The enterprise adoption of artificial intelligence has reached an inflection point. Organizations are rapidly moving into the era of agentic AI, autonomous systems capable of executing complex reasoning and making operational decisions independently. Yet as executives attempt to transition agents from sandbox environments into mission-critical production channels, they inevitably collide with an AI trust gap. Unlike traditional applications, agentic solutions interpret intent and take autonomous

Production-Ready Agents Need A Production-Ready Data Platform
There’s a common theme to the conversations I’ve been having with AI teams lately: change. Constant, head-spinning change. Teams across industries are evaluating and re-evaluating model providers, agent frameworks, and harnesses on a continuous basis. At MongoDB, we believe that your choice of technology partner—specifically, your data platform—should simplify how you build with AI. It should deliver performance at scale, enable you to build and run anywhere, and it should allow you to choose yo

Agentic Supplier Management with MongoDB Atlas, Voyage AI, and Multi-Modal Search
Retail supply chains are not a back-office logistics function; they are a high-stakes, board-level concern. Imagine learning suddenly that shipment rerouting surcharges have doubled due to new regional escalations; the impact on competitive differentiation and consumer trust is immediate. As a result, a long-standing focus on linear efficiency and lean inventory is being disrupted by a mandate for resilience and AI-driven responsiveness. To survive, retailers must move beyond the rigidity of leg

Fighting Tool Sprawl: The Case for AI Tool Registries
As enterprise AI agent adoption scales, the absence of centralized, organization-level tool infrastructure is producing compounding costs. When adoption is built around optimizing for deployment speed, enterprises expose themselves to a combination of risks: duplicated engineering effort, security exposure, and operational opacity. Every enterprise needs its own shared tool registry, one that reflects its specific regulatory environment, security posture, and operational conventions. To be clear

AI Is Changing What Customers Need From a Database. MongoDB 8.3 Is Built for It
Today, we announced at .local London that MongoDB 8.3 is built for the speed AI demands—and our customers can't afford to wait. The data layer has to move at AI speed The old contract between databases and the applications on top of them was simple: databases improve slowly, and architectures evolve around them. AI has changed that contract. The workloads our customers are shipping today—agents retrieving at sub-100ms, retry storms hitting in milliseconds, multi-region deployments that can't tra

MongoDB Predictive Auto-Scaling: An Experiment
You can often predict a load spike before it arrives. Maybe it happens at the same time every day, or there’s always a spike at midnight on a Friday when you run a certain batch job. Or maybe it’s not cyclical, but load is rising steadily, and it’s a reasonable guess that it will keep rising for a while. MongoDB Atlas’s reactive auto-scaler handles these spikes, but scaling to the right size takes several minutes. What if MongoDB Atlas could use these temporal patterns—cycles and trends—to scale

Introducing MongoDB Agent Skills and Plugins for Coding Agents
Software engineering is evolving into agentic engineering. According to the Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2025, 84% of respondents use or plan to use AI tools in their development, up from 76% the previous year. At this rate, the tooling needs to keep pace. Last year, we introduced the MongoDB MCP Server to give agents the connectivity they need to interact with MongoDB, helping them generate context-aware code. But connectivity was only the start. Agents are generalists by design, and they do

Observability and OpenTelemetry: Introducing MongoDB Atlas Log Integration
In high-stakes enterprise environments, outages do not wait for business hours, and neither do IT/Network Operators. A latency spike hits the dashboard, and metrics signal that the database is under pressure. The cause? Indeterminate. Meanwhile, the business impact is immediate: orders fail to process, customers can’t access accounts, transactions stall, and critical records become temporarily unavailable. Every minute of uncertainty translates into lost revenue, frustrated users, and escalating

Towards Model-based Verification of a Key-Value Storage Engine
In our previous post, we talked about our process of specifying MongoDB’s distributed transactions protocol and how it enabled novel analysis of its performance characteristics. In this follow-up, we talk about how the modularity of our specification also enabled us to check that the underlying storage engine implementation actually conforms to the abstract behavior defined in our formal specification. That is, we are able to formalize the interface boundary between the sharded transaction proto

Vision RAG: Enabling Search on Any Documents
Information comes in many shapes and forms. While retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) primarily focuses on plain text, it overlooks vast amounts of data along the way. Most enterprise knowledge resides in complex documents, slides, graphics, and other multimodal sources. Yet, extracting useful information from these formats using optical character recognition (OCR) or other parsing techniques is often low-fidelity, brittle, and expensive. Vision RAG makes complex documents—including their figur

Token-count-based Batching: Faster, Cheaper Embedding Inference for Queries
Embedding model inference often struggles with efficiency when serving large volumes of short requests—a common pattern in search, retrieval, and recommendation systems. At Voyage AI by MongoDB, we call these short requests queries, and other requests are called documents. Queries typically must be served with very low latency (typically 100–300 ms). Queries are typically short, and their token-length distribution is highly skewed. As a result, query inference tends to be memory-bound rather tha
