Summary

One trillion documents stored in a database is a significant milestone, even for those who have seen large-scale deployments before. This achievement showcases MongoDB's ability to deliver superior scale and support complex applications with optimal balance between functionality and performance. A modern database must go beyond storing data quickly, but rather provide rich queries, indexing, analysis, aggregation, geospatial access, and search capabilities across multi-structured and rapidly changing data sets in real-time. This is exactly what MongoDB offers, making it an attractive choice for organizations like Bosch, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Genentech, Facebook, and others who are scaling with the platform.
