What makes a database modern, and why does it matter? In a world where we face countless choices, how do you build systems that not only scale but also make life easier for your teams? And with AI reshaping industries and workflows, how do businesses bridge the gap between legacy systems and cutting-edge applications?

He also serves on the boards of Temporal and Observe, Inc, a cloud data observability startup. Sahir joined MongoDB from Sumo Logic, where he managed platform, pricing, packaging, and technology partnerships. Before Sumo Logic, he launched VMware's first organically developed SaaS management product and grew their management tools business to $1B+ in revenue.
