Introducing the MongoDB Masters Program for 2018 | MongoDB Blog` The MongoDB Masters Program is a recognition program created by MongoDB to acknowledge leaders within their community, experts in MongoDB, and professionals who freely share their knowledge. The program was established to encourage valuable product feedback and drive thought leadership among its members. This year's class of Masters includes returning members as well as new individuals who have demonstrated exceptional passion, impact, and execution in their work with MongoDB. The program offers benefits such as access to the engineering and product management teams, discounted MongoDB Atlas Credits, and a special Q&A session with Eliot Horowitz, Co-Founder and CTO. To become a Master, an individual must be passionate about technology and solving technical problems, demonstrate significant impact in their work or community, and showcase exceptional execution of solutions. The program aims to recognize and thank the most vocal and active supporters of MongoDB, and its members are encouraged to participate in beta testing programs, share their experiences, and expand their voices as leaders in the technical community.
