Goodnotes, established in 2010 to offer a digital alternative to traditional notebooks, has expanded its offerings by launching the Goodnotes Marketplace in August 2024, which serves over 24 million monthly active users. The marketplace, which enhances the note-taking experience with purchasable content like planners and stickers, was developed using MongoDB Atlas, allowing it to support multiple platforms and include features such as search and order customization. The development involved creating a robust infrastructure that could scale, using tools like NestJS for APIs and MongoDB Atlas Search for efficient product discovery. Future plans include incorporating AI for language translation and personalized recommendations. Meanwhile, MongoDB is enhancing its Time Series Collections with version 8.0, introducing improvements like columnar compression and Block Processing, which significantly boost performance for large-scale time-series data, making it more efficient for applications such as financial analysis and IoT. Additionally, MongoDB's leadership transition sees CEO Dev Ittycheria stepping down in 2025, to be succeeded by Chirantan “CJ” Desai, who brings extensive experience from ServiceNow and Cloudflare.
