Erwin Segerer, who serves the role of a Software Developer at Bosch.IO, had this to say:
Prior to MongoDB 5.0, the Bosch IoT Insights cloud service relied on a custom solution with its own bespoke data model for time series data. This approach added complexity and friction to both our own developers and to our customers. MongoDB 5.0 and its time series collections radically simplifies our technology stack and improves user experience. IoT data is automatically stored in a highly optimized format that reduces storage consumption while also enabling fast and efficient queries and analytics against the data. As a result, users unlock insights faster – no matter if it is time series or non time series data – all while working with a single intuitive and powerful query API.
Serverless instances will support the newest MongoDB features. Currently, users can assess them in preview. In turn, the customers will no longer have to worry about backward compatibility or updates. Instead, the end-user can select a cloud area and begin developing right away. More precisely, customers will use documents that translate to objects in code.
Dev Ittycheria, who serves the role of President and CEO at MongoDB, had this to say:
MongoDB is the world’s pre-eminent application data platform for building the applications of today and tomorrow. With the end of the global pandemic in sight, enterprises everywhere feel a sense of urgency to use software and data as a competitive advantage. The best way to do this is by giving developers access to technologies that align with the way they think and code to enable high productivity. Today’s announcements remove even more friction and complexity from the developer experience and enable developers to build innovative and highly scalable applications for a wide range of use cases faster than on any other platform. MongoDB is incredibly popular among developers everywhere and is used by nearly 27,000 customers around the world to transform their businesses.
With such a broad user base, MongoDB will surely improve the experience of many developers worldwide.
