MongoDB has been at the forefront of application development for developers and enterprises over the past decade. According to TechRepublic, over 35,000 Fortune 500 companies and startups alike have been utilizing MongoDB for mainstream data infrastructure. One of the key drivers of the shift from virtual machines to the full use of cloud was MongoDB’s launching of Atlas, six years ago.

What is MongoDB Atlas? MongoDB Atlas is a non-relational, multi-cloud, database-as-a-service (DBaaS) that can configure and host the database with a simple process, even if the data is unstructured. According to Tony Baer, founder of dbInsight, Atlas has “really freed up developers,” making it invaluable to the industry. It’s also much easier to learn than relational databases, which require developers to manage the database alongside key-value stores and search engines.
