MongoDB Atlas provides an integrated set of data and application services that enables application-driven analytics by providing developers with a unified API to land, index, query, and analyze data without having to build their own data pipelines or duplicate data. This allows teams to handle real-time analytics for high volumes of data, such as the one million metrics per second generated during a space rocket launch, using MongoDB Atlas's advanced capabilities including time series collections, query API, data federation, charts, analytics nodes, and security features like high availability and encryption. With this approach, teams can build smarter applications that drive better customer experiences and take intelligent action directly within the application on live operational data in real-time.
