In May 2024, MongoDB celebrated significant milestones, including hosting the largest MongoDB.local event in NYC with 2,500 attendees and launching the MongoDB AI Applications Program (MAAP) to facilitate the development of generative AI applications. The company expanded its AI partner network by integrating with new partners such as Haystack, Mixpeek, Quotient AI, and Radiant, each offering unique solutions to enhance AI application development using MongoDB's platform. Meanwhile, QSSTUDIO, a tech consultancy, utilized MongoDB Atlas to create innovative applications like ServoTrack and RockSHIELD, showcasing the platform's flexibility and scalability. In a separate development, MongoDB's CEO Dev Ittycheria announced his retirement effective November 2025, with Chirantan “CJ” Desai set to succeed him. CJ, known for his transformative role at ServiceNow and Cloudflare, is expected to guide MongoDB through its next growth phase, leveraging its strengths in AI and data-intensive applications. Dev emphasized that the leadership transition is a strategic move to position MongoDB for future success and innovation, and he committed to supporting the transition while looking forward to personal pursuits.
