MongoDB Atlas
Build and scale with an AI-ready multi-cloud developer data platform.
Overview
MongoDB Atlas is the global cloud database service from MongoDB, offering a fully managed, multi-cloud document database. It allows developers to deploy, operate, and scale MongoDB instances across major cloud providers like AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure with ease. The platform goes beyond just a database, integrating a suite of data services including Atlas Search for building rich search experiences, Atlas Vector Search for powering AI applications with semantic search and retrieval augmented generation (RAG), and Atlas Stream Processing for real-time data integration and analytics. The core value proposition of Atlas is to simplify database management, allowing developers to focus on building applications rather than managing infrastructure. It provides automated backups, patching, scaling, and high availability, ensuring applications remain performant and reliable. With recent advancements like MongoDB 8.0 and the acquisition of Voyage AI, Atlas is increasingly positioned as an AI-ready platform, enabling users to build more accurate and trustworthy AI applications directly on their operational data.
