The MongoDB Podcast

Multi-cloud clusters - a feature available in MongoDB Atlas, a global cloud database service - takes the concept a step further by enabling a single application to use multiple clouds. With multi-cloud clusters, data is distributed across different public clouds (Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Microsoft Azure), enabling deployment of a single database across multiple providers simultaneously.  In this episode, Nic and I sit down with Andrew Davidson, VP of Cloud Product at MongoDB to discuss this latest innovation to MongoDB Atlas. Sign up for a free Atlas account and take a look at this feature in action.
