MongoDB is a modern, high-performance platform that allows customers to build amazing applications. With over 40,000 customers and a $1.5 billion revenue, MongoDB is used by banks, telecom companies, and startups. Unlike traditional relational databases, MongoDB is designed for developers, offering a more efficient and flexible way to store and retrieve data. Founded by the creators of DoubleClick, MongoDB was born out of the need to handle massive amounts of data in the late 90s.
