The `MongoDB` and `Node.js` at 10gen` blog post from April 25, 2012, announces that the official MongoDB Node.js driver has been developed by Christian Kvalheim, who was hired full-time by 10gen to continue his work. The driver is now officially supported by 10gen alongside other drivers for MongoDB. The project's success was fueled by contributions from a large community and production use, leading to its maturity over the past two years. Additionally, Aaron Heckmann, one of the authors of `Mongoose`, has joined the 10gen team, further solidifying 10gen's commitment to making MongoDB a first-class citizen in the Node.js ecosystem.
