Since its inception, AWS re:Invent has grown into a vital event for the cloud community, with MongoDB playing a significant role in the 2022 iteration by engaging in various talks, workshops, and sessions. MongoDB was named AWS Marketplace Partner of the Year for the EMEA region, a testament to its growing collaboration with AWS and focus on customer experience, which has seen MongoDB Atlas grow by 173% in EMEA since 2021. The event was an opportunity for MongoDB to connect with its customers and partners, with many being highlighted in AWS CEO Adam Selipsky's keynote. MongoDB's participation included live-streamed discussions with key partners and customers, showcasing innovative use cases across different industries. MongoDB executives, including CEO Dev Ittycheria and CISO Lena Smart, discussed current data trends and security innovations, emphasizing MongoDB's role in empowering faster decision-making and innovation. Workshops at the event covered practical data management topics using the Atlas developer data platform, highlighting MongoDB's efforts to streamline tech stacks and enhance real-time analytics. The event also touched on the importance of transitioning from legacy systems to next-generation data platforms, especially in the financial sector, where there is a growing need for real-time data analytics, security, and multi-cloud capabilities. MongoDB also announced a leadership transition, with Dev Ittycheria planning to step down as CEO in 2025, succeeded by Chirantan “CJ” Desai, who brings valuable experience from his previous roles at ServiceNow and Cloudflare. This transition is part of MongoDB's strategy to continue its growth and innovation journey, leveraging the rise of AI and data-intensive applications.
