MongoDB 3.6 introduces several features to improve DevOps and distributed systems management, including Ops Manager, which provides advanced management and administration capabilities for operations teams. Ops Manager allows for simplified monitoring and management, performance telemetry, and prescriptive recommendations for optimizing database performance. It also introduces a new Organizations hierarchy, faster and cheaper backups, queryable backups, and point-in-time snapshots. Additionally, MongoDB 3.6 includes schema validation via syntax derived from the proposed IETF JSON Schema standard, which provides complete control over balancing agility and flexibility with strict data governance controls enforced across entire collections. The release also introduces end-to-end compression, enhanced operational management in multi-tenant environments, and improved scalability with the WiredTiger storage engine.
