MongoDB Atlas Now Available On Google Cloud

The new version of its cloud database is meant to give developers a more simplified subscription experience

MongoDB is doubling down on the cloud with a new pay-as-you-go MongoDB Atlas offering that’s available in the Google Cloud Console. The new version of its cloud database is meant to give developers a more simplified subscription experience, and therefore a simpler choice by which they can adopt MongoDB on Google’s cloud infrastructure platform.

The new offering simplifies adoption as customers will need to pay only for the resources they actually use, with no upfront commitments. Users can then scale the service as their needs demand. According to MongoDB, it is a model that better aligns with how companies are building modern applications, especially startups.

One of the main benefits of running MongoDB Atlas on Google Cloud is the tight integration with services, meaning customers can analyse data with the broadest set of analytical approaches and integrate advanced services into applications powered by the database. As an example, MongoDB Atlas integrates with Google services such as BigQuery, Apigee, TensorFlow, Cloud Run and App Engine.

“Developers benefit by having MongoDB Atlas now featured in the database section of Google Cloud’s console, increasing the visibility and velocity of Atlas with a wider group of users. Together, Google Cloud and MongoDB will continue to work with organisations looking to streamline cloud migrations and modernise application development in order to provide their customers with a first-class experience,” said Alan Chhabra, Executive Vice President Of Worldwide Partners, MongoDB. 

MongoDB Atlas is a cloud-hosted version that can be hosted on Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services and other public cloud platforms. During its fiscal fourth-quarter earnings call last week, MongoDB said revenue from Atlas grew by an impressive 85% from a year ago, surpassing $1 billion in annualised revenue for the first time. The company said its partnerships with Google Cloud and Amazon Web Services were one of the main factors behind that growth.
