From Conversations to Community: Our First MongoDB DBDevOps
Blog post from Harness
In May 2026, Harness partnered with the Namma MUG community to host its first Database DevOps event in India, focusing on MongoDB and modern database automation practices. The event, held in Bengaluru, attracted engineers interested in automation, CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, and database migration strategies for modern applications. A key highlight was the introduction of the OSS Native Mongo Executor initiative, which sparked discussions about the integration of MongoDB with DevOps, the comparison of changelog-driven workflows with traditional scripting, and the importance of using native MongoDB tools over traditional relational methods. Attendees expressed a strong interest in learning how to integrate MongoDB into DevOps workflows effectively, and there was a significant demand for beginner-friendly guides, examples, and templates. The event underscored the community's enthusiasm for more streamlined MongoDB operations, emphasizing reliability, governance, and developer velocity, and highlighted the evolving landscape of Database DevOps beyond traditional relational systems.
