MongoDB is hosting a series of "dot local" events worldwide, starting with MongoDB.local NYC, to engage with its community through conferences featuring product announcements, workshops, and expert consultations. The events are designed to cater to a diverse developer community and address challenges such as data privacy and application modernization. Concurrently, MongoDB is expanding its Atlas service on AWS to new regions, including the UAE, Zurich, and Spain, enhancing data availability and compliance. In a significant leadership transition, CEO Dev Ittycheria announced his retirement, with Chirantan “CJ” Desai set to succeed him in November 2025, bringing extensive growth-at-scale experience. This change is part of MongoDB's strategic evolution, aiming to capture opportunities in AI and data-intensive applications while maintaining a strong market position.
