Summary

MongoDB and Realm make it easy to work with data, together` MongoDB has entered into an agreement to acquire Realm, a company that makes working with data on mobile devices incredibly easy. Realm's multi-language, cross-platform SDK provides a natural way for developers to interact with data in a mobile environment, handling the intricacies of mobile platforms with ease. The acquisition brings MongoDB and Realm together, sharing a vision that when developers can naturally interact with data, they are happier and more productive. The combined product will not introduce backwards breaking changes, instead strengthening and enhancing the core Realm database while bringing MongoDB's global backend capabilities into the Realm mobile developer toolbox. This will create an extensive mobile platform that makes both databases equally easy to work with, individually or together.
