MongoDB's internal Skunkworks hackathon in 2022 showcased the company's commitment to fostering innovation and creativity among its engineers by allowing them to work on side projects, proof of concepts, or anything imaginable for a week without the usual work constraints. The hackathon, themed around Star Trek, resulted in over 115 projects, including significant innovations like the Charts Slack Integration and MongoDB Carbon Footprint Calculation. These projects highlighted the engineers' ability to leverage MongoDB's latest features, such as MongoDB 6.0, to address user needs and sustainability goals. The event not only encouraged personal growth and passion-driven work but also aligned with MongoDB's values of "Think Big, Go Far" and "Build Together," reinforcing the company's emphasis on innovation and mental health. Additionally, MongoDB's support for startups like Thunkable through its program exemplifies how the company aids in scaling and overcoming technical challenges, further demonstrating its role in enabling innovation across diverse platforms.
