Key buyer advantages of the Microsoft and MongoDB expanded partnership

This put up was co-authored by Patrick McCluskey, Vice President at MongoDB.

As we welcome the period of AI, it’s essential to keep in mind that information is the gas that powers AI. With this understanding, it’s clear why our purpose is to make Azure the perfect vacation spot for information. In Azure, prospects profit from a complete portfolio of database merchandise together with relational, non-relational, open supply, and caching options. Now we have 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 technique to mannequin their information. We’ve partnered with MongoDB for years however this 12 months we deepened our partnership considerably, culminating in a multiyear strategic partnership settlement. We’re extremely pleased with the work we’ve accomplished collectively to make Azure an awesome place to run MongoDB Atlas. Previously six months alone, MongoDB has change into one in all 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 prospects like utilizing MongoDB to construct purposes. In 12 months one in all our strategic partnership, we collaborated with MongoDB to make it even simpler for our joint prospects to do extra with Microsoft providers 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 essential to make it simple for builders to get began with MongoDB Atlas on Azure. GitHub Copilot makes it simple to construct MongoDB purposes on Azure because of 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 prospects reaping the advantages of our strategic partnership. For instance, our joint work with Temenos helped to allow their banking prospects to achieve 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 prospects collaborate higher and smarter.

MongoDB at Microsoft Ignite 2023

We proceed to make investments to enhance the shopper expertise of working 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 prospects can profit from every one.

1. Semantic Kernel is an open supply SDK that permits combining AI providers like OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, and Hugging Face with programming languages like C# and Python. At Ignite, MongoDB introduced native assist for MongoDB Atlas Vector Search in Semantic Kernel. MongoDB Atlas Vector Search permits prospects to combine operational information and vectors in a unified and absolutely managed platform. Now, prospects can use Semantic Kernel to include Atlas Vector Search in purposes. This permits, for instance, utilizing Atlas Vector Search to work together with retrieval-augmented technology (RAG) of their work with giant language fashions (LLMs), thereby lowering the chance of AI hallucinations, amongst different advantages.
2. 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 purposes, these prospects use MongoDB Atlas to retailer information from inside enterprise purposes, customer-facing providers, and third-party APIs throughout a number of channels. With connectors for Microsoft Cloth pipelines and Dataflow Gen2, our prospects can now mix MongoDB Atlas information with relational information from conventional purposes and unstructured information from sources like logs, clickstreams, and extra. At Microsoft Ignite, we noticed thrilling bulletins making this integration seamless and simple to make use of for MongoDB prospects. In the course of the first keynote, Microsoft introduced that Microsoft Cloth is now usually accessible, and shared a brand new frictionless means so as to add and handle present cloud information warehouses and databases, like MongoDB, in Cloth known as Mirroring. Now, MongoDB prospects can replicate a snapshot of their database to OneLake and OneLake will robotically maintain this duplicate in sync in close to real-time. You’ll be able to learn extra on find out how to unlock the worth of knowledge in MongoDB Atlas with the clever analytics of Microsoft Cloth right here.
3. Thousands and thousands of builders rely upon C# to write down their purposes, and a big share 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 potential for builders utilizing EF Core to construct C#/.NET purposes with MongoDB whereas persevering with to make use of their most popular APIs and design patterns.

In every case, we’ve labored intently with MongoDB to make sure builders, information engineers, and information scientists can simply join their MongoDB information to Microsoft providers.

A 12 months of strengthened collaboration

These new integrations observe a banner 12 months of collaboration between Microsoft and MongoDB. Past Microsoft Ignite, we’ve shared numerous glorious developer information:

• The MongoDB for VS Code Extension was made usually accessible in August 2023. VS Code is the world’s hottest built-in improvement setting (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 purposes and handle information in MongoDB straight from VS Code.
• MongoDB built-in with a spread of providers 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 connect with and safeguard MongoDB information
  • Energy BI, making it potential for information analysts to natively rework, 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 revealed tutorials and extra masking:

It has been an awesome 12 months for Microsoft and MongoDB, collectively making it simpler for organizations of all sizes to do extra with their information.
