MongoDB has announced a new partnership with Codecademy to offer a free, self-paced "Learn MongoDB" course, designed to teach developers the basics of MongoDB, including CRUD operations, data querying, and index creation, while also introducing best practices for building applications on MongoDB. Concurrently, MongoDB is rolling out the MongoDB Relational Migrator, a tool aimed at simplifying the migration from legacy relational databases to MongoDB by transforming schemas and facilitating data transfers, with broader capabilities like continuous sync expected in future updates. Additionally, MongoDB is undergoing a leadership transition with CEO Dev Ittycheria announcing his retirement, effective November 2025, and the appointment of Chirantan “CJ” Desai as his successor, chosen for his extensive experience in scaling technology companies and his potential to lead MongoDB into its next phase of growth, MongoDB 3.0. Dev Ittycheria will remain on the Board to ensure a smooth transition and expresses confidence in MongoDB's strategic position to capitalize on the rise of AI and data-intensive applications.
