MongoDB announces new database capabilities to improve developer experience

At an event MongoDB held in London today, the company announced a number of product announcements, including updates to Atlas, a new edge platform, and more. 

According to MongoDB, developers’ time is an organization’s “most precious commodity.” Therefore, the company would like to improve the experience around the most common tasks a developer does every day. It narrowed this down to two areas that could be improved and is releasing new capabilities around those.

The first area is making the Atlas database easier to work with. It is now possible for developers to use the Atlas CLI to manage their development environments locally using the same experience they have in the cloud. Atlas CLI has also been updated to include Atlas Search and Atlas Vector Search, which enables developers to create and manage search indexes within development workflows. 

“By giving developers the power of Atlas at their fingertips no matter their preferred development environment, MongoDB continues to expand the scope and capabilities of its developer data platform while placing a premium on developer experience,” MongoDB wrote in a blog post. 

The second area is making it easier to write MongoDB queries. Developers can now use plain English to ask questions, and the MongoDB GUI, Compass, will automatically generate a query for the request. The company also has a private preview for SQL query conversion in Relational Migrator, which enables queries and procedures to be converted to the MongoDB query language. 

The company also is making MongoDB accessible from more places. It announced Atlas for the Edge, which brings data processing and storage closer to where the data lives. Atlas Edge Servers can be deployed anywhere, enabling developers to create customer experiences that need low latency, heavy computation close to where data is generated, or run applications in locations that have intermittent internet. 

“With MongoDB Atlas for the Edge, organizations can now use a single, unified interface to deliver a consistent and frictionless development experience from the edge to the cloud — and everything in between. Together, the capabilities included with MongoDB Atlas for the Edge allow organizations to significantly reduce the complexity of building edge applications and architectures,” MongoDB wrote in a blog post. 

MongoDB has also announced its own publishing company, MongoDB Press, which will make it easier to publish knowledge about MongoDB. Currently two books have been published: one is on aggregations and the other on MongoDB 7.0. 

The company has also published a new solutions library that features use cases from across the industry to give developers inspiration on how they can use MongoDB. And finally, it has also added new content to MongoDB University.

2022: The year of hybrid work

Remote work was once considered a luxury to many, but in 2020, it became a necessity for a large portion of the workforce, as the scary and unknown COVID-19 virus sickened and even took the lives of so many people around the world.  Some workers were able to thrive in a remote setting, while others felt isolated and struggled to keep up a balance between their work and home lives. Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are dec...
