MongoDB, Inc.

MongoDB is a developer data platform company that provides a globally distributed operational database integrated with data services. The company's platform is built on a modern general-purpose database with a unique document-based architecture designed to handle unstructured data. This architecture aims to provide performance, scalability, flexibility, and reliability, while retaining strengths of relational databases. MongoDB's offerings address the needs of organizations for storing, organizing, and processing data for software applications. The company positions its platform as an alternative to legacy relational databases, which were developed in the 1970s and are described as not being built to support the volume, variety, and speed of data generated by modern applications. MongoDB's platform aims to reduce the time developers spend fixing and maintaining linkages between modern applications and rigid database structures, and is designed for globally distributed deployments, unlike relational databases built before cloud computing.
