About MongoDB
MongoDB was founded by the team behind DoubleClick (acquired by Google), who struggled with the rigid schemas of relational databases when building large-scale applications. They created MongoDB as a NoSQL, document-oriented database that stores data in flexible, JSON-like formats, aligning perfectly with how modern developers write code.
MongoDB's flexibility and scalability made it wildly popular among developers. Today, its managed cloud service, MongoDB Atlas, runs across AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure, serving as the foundational data layer for thousands of modern web, mobile, and AI applications.
