The Forbes Cloud 100 list recognizes MongoDB as one of the top cloud companies, ranking it at No. 40 in its second year. The recognition marks a significant milestone for MongoDB Atlas, which was introduced to the market just over a year ago and has already gained traction among customers. Sahir Azam, Vice President of Cloud Products and GTM at MongoDB, attributes the success of Atlas to its ability to extend the company's offerings into fully managed cloud services, making it an attractive option for enterprises looking to move their databases to the cloud. The recognition also highlights the growing demand for cloud-based database solutions, with users increasingly looking to consume applications and databases as a service. As MongoDB continues to expand its cloud offerings, including the recent launch of its backend as a service, MongoDB Stitch, Sahir expects Atlas to play a key role in delivering applications globally, with a vision of having a global database that is intelligent and self-optimizing.
