As we welcome the period of AI, it’s vital to keep in mind that information is the gasoline that powers AI. With this understanding, it’s clear why our aim is to make Azure the most effective vacation spot for information. In Azure, clients profit from a complete portfolio of database merchandise together with relational, non-relational, open supply, and caching options. We have now additionally established deep partnerships, just like the one we now have with MongoDB Inc., to allow digital transformation utilizing their databases as managed choices in Azure.
MongoDB is a number one information platform firm that offers builders an intuitive strategy to mannequin their information. We’ve partnered with MongoDB for years however this yr we deepened our partnership considerably, culminating in a multiyear strategic partnership settlement. We’re extremely pleased with the work we’ve carried out collectively to make Azure an amazing place to run MongoDB Atlas. Prior to now six months alone, MongoDB has grow to be one among our prime performing Azure Market companions pushed by the adoption of the MongoDB Atlas on Azure pay-as-you-go self-service providing.
Microsoft’s mission is to empower everybody to attain extra, and we all know that our clients like utilizing MongoDB to construct functions. In yr one among our strategic partnership, we collaborated with MongoDB to make it even simpler for our joint clients to do extra with Microsoft companies and MongoDB Atlas on Azure. We’ve enabled builders to make use of MongoDB Atlas in 40+ Azure areas globally—with our most up-to-date new location being in Doha, Qatar, which we introduced final month at our Ignite convention. And we all know it’s not simply in regards to the information middle, it’s additionally critically vital to make it simple for builders to get began with MongoDB Atlas on Azure. GitHub Copilot makes it simple to construct MongoDB functions on Azure resulting from its proficiency in making code options and we’re working collectively to additional enhance GitHub Copilot’s efficiency utilizing MongoDB schema, amongst different issues.
See how MongoDB and GitHub Copilot come collectively on this video.
We’ve already seen clients reaping the advantages of our strategic partnership. For instance, our joint work with Temenos helped to allow their banking clients to succeed in record-high scale. And in one other case, Mural, a collaborative intelligence firm, shared their expertise of constructing with MongoDB Atlas and Microsoft Azure to assist their clients collaborate higher and smarter.
MongoDB at Microsoft Ignite 2023
We proceed to make investments to enhance the client expertise of operating MongoDB Atlas on Azure. In November, at Microsoft Ignite 2023, Microsoft and MongoDB introduced three vital integrations: Microsoft Semantic Kernel, Microsoft Cloth, and Entity Framework (EF) Core. Let’s have a look at how clients can profit from each.
- Semantic Kernel is an open supply SDK that allows combining AI companies like OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, and Hugging Face with programming languages like C# and Python. At Ignite, MongoDB introduced native help for MongoDB Atlas Vector Search in Semantic Kernel. MongoDB Atlas Vector Search permits clients to combine operational information and vectors in a unified and totally managed platform. Now, clients can use Semantic Kernel to include Atlas Vector Search in functions. This permits, for instance, utilizing Atlas Vector Search to work together with retrieval-augmented era (RAG) of their work with giant language fashions (LLMs), thereby lowering the danger of AI hallucinations, amongst different advantages.
- Microsoft Cloth can reshape how your groups work with information by bringing everybody collectively on a single, AI-powered platform constructed for the period of AI. MongoDB Atlas is the operational information layer for a lot of functions, these clients use MongoDB Atlas to retailer information from inner enterprise functions, customer-facing companies, and third-party APIs throughout a number of channels. With connectors for Microsoft Cloth pipelines and Dataflow Gen2, our clients can now mix MongoDB Atlas information with relational information from conventional functions and unstructured information from sources like logs, clickstreams, and extra. At Microsoft Ignite, we noticed thrilling bulletins making this integration seamless and straightforward to make use of for MongoDB clients. Throughout the first keynote, Microsoft introduced that Microsoft Cloth is now typically accessible, and shared a brand new frictionless method so as to add and handle present cloud information warehouses and databases, like MongoDB, in Cloth referred to as Mirroring. Now, MongoDB clients can replicate a snapshot of their database to OneLake and OneLake will routinely preserve this reproduction in sync in close to real-time. You’ll be able to learn extra on how you can unlock the worth of knowledge in MongoDB Atlas with the clever analytics of Microsoft Cloth right here.
- Tens of millions of builders rely upon C# to put in writing their functions, and a big proportion of those use Entity Framework (EF) Core, a light-weight, extensible, open supply and cross-platform model of the favored Entity Framework information entry expertise. MongoDB introduced that MongoDB Supplier for EF Core is now accessible in Public Preview. This makes it doable for builders utilizing EF Core to construct C#/.NET functions with MongoDB whereas persevering with to make use of their most well-liked APIs and design patterns.
In every case, we’ve labored carefully with MongoDB to make sure builders, information engineers, and information scientists can simply join their MongoDB information to Microsoft companies.
A yr of strengthened collaboration
These new integrations observe a banner yr of collaboration between Microsoft and MongoDB. Past Microsoft Ignite, we’ve shared a variety of wonderful developer information:
- The MongoDB for VS Code Extension was made typically accessible in August 2023. VS Code is the world’s hottest built-in growth surroundings (IDE), and builders downloaded the MongoDB extension over 1 million occasions throughout its public preview. This free, downloadable extension makes it simple for builders to construct functions and handle information in MongoDB straight from VS Code.
- MongoDB built-in with a variety of companies throughout the Microsoft Clever Knowledge Platform (MIDP), together with:
- Azure Synapse Analytics, to make it simpler to investigate operational information
- Microsoft Purview, so customers can hook up with and safeguard MongoDB information
- Energy BI, making it doable for information analysts to natively remodel, analyze, and share dashboards that incorporate dwell MongoDB Atlas information
- Knowledge Federation: Atlas Knowledge Federation can now be deployed in Microsoft Azure and helps Microsoft Azure Blob Storage in non-public preview.
- Collectively printed tutorials and extra protecting:
It has been an amazing yr for Microsoft and MongoDB, collectively making it simpler for organizations of all sizes to do extra with their information.
