MongoDB hosts annual MongoDB.local events worldwide, offering free admission and featuring workshops, talks, and networking opportunities for tech professionals. These events aim to foster learning and connections among local MongoDB User Groups and showcase the latest advancements in MongoDB and partner technologies. Vanta, a San Francisco-based startup part of the MongoDB for Startups program, utilizes MongoDB Atlas to enhance its data security and compliance platform, automating up to 90% of the work required for security audits. MongoDB's flexible document model supports Vanta's rapid development and integration efforts, crucial for its growth and adaptation to evolving security needs. The MongoDB for Startups program provides Vanta with technical advice and resources to optimize its use of MongoDB Atlas. The leadership transition at MongoDB sees Dev Ittycheria stepping down as CEO in November 2025, with Chirantan “CJ” Desai taking over to guide the company into its next phase of growth, focusing on AI and data-intensive applications. Dev emphasizes the strategic timing of this change and expresses confidence in CJ's ability to capitalize on MongoDB's strengths to drive future innovation.
