    TIL MongoDB is a publicly traded company.

    I can't imagine the future is bright for MongoDB as AI makes it much less painful to move off of legacy and/or overpriced software.

      At this point I'd rather use a Claude-written database system than use MongoDB at any price.

        MongoDB is the only open-source database that supports multi-master high-availability out of the box.

          MongoDB has been proprietary since 2018.

          MongoDB can't deliver high availability.
