Key Products & Brands
MongoDB Atlas
Cloud DatabaseAtlas is a fully managed multi-cloud database service for MongoDB. It handles scaling, security, and maintenance across AWS, GCP, and Azure. Teams focus on automation of operations, reliability across regions, and ease of developer onboarding.
Atlas Vector Search
AI Data PlatformAtlas Vector Search allows developers to build AI-powered applications using high-dimensional vector data on the same platform as their operational data. It simplifies the stack for RAG and semantic search use cases. Teams work on vector indexing, performance optimization, and AI framework integrations.
Atlas Search
Full-text SearchAtlas Search integrates full-text search capabilities directly into the database, eliminating the need for separate search engines like Elasticsearch. It allows for rich search experiences with low latency. Teams focus on Lucene integration, ranking algorithms, and search performance.
MongoDB Realm
Mobile DevelopmentRealm is a mobile database and synchronization platform that allows developers to build reactive, offline-first mobile apps. It syncs data automatically between edge devices and MongoDB Atlas. Teams focus on sync reliability, local data performance, and developer SDKs.
