WiredTiger is an open source storage engine company that was acquired by MongoDB, a leading database management system. The acquisition brings great technology and people who share the same mission, vision, and philosophy as MongoDB. Keith Bostic and Dr. Michael Cahill, co-founders of WiredTiger, are renowned experts in data storage and transaction management. They will continue to work on their project, but it will now be part of MongoDB's ecosystem. The WiredTiger storage engine is available today in the latest release candidate for MongoDB 3.0, which offers advanced features and performance improvements for write-heavy workloads.
