MongoDB is investing heavily in its database platform to support mobile, 5G, and edge computing applications. The company aims to provide sophisticated data synchronization capabilities between clients and backends, a feature that has proven challenging for developers to solve on their own. MongoDB acquired Realm's sync and embedded database capabilities last year and is now releasing these features as part of its upcoming platform. With the advent of 5G and other related technologies, mobile apps are expected to become even more mission-critical, requiring sophisticated platforms to support streaming types of data and rich features. The company believes that its new sync capabilities will enable mission-critical mobile and edge compute applications with consistent response times under 10ms and reliability up to 100%. MongoDB's investment in this area is driven by the popularity of the mobile space, particularly with the growth of 5G and edge computing. Customers such as Becton Dickinson and Company, PG&E, Tommy Hilfiger, Coyote, and Doddle have successfully implemented Couchbase solutions that provide scalable real-time performance, offline availability, and near real-time data synchronization, showcasing the capabilities of MongoDB's new sync features in various industries.
