How Atlas Could Help MongoDB Grow Its Database Business

MongoDB (NASDAQ: MDB) is disrupting the database industry. The company's innovative solutions empower software developers, helping them build applications more quickly. In particular, the company's fully managed database-as-a-service solution -- MongoDB Atlas -- is growing exceptionally quickly.

Here's why that matters.

Databases power most websites and applications. They provide a place where information can be stored, managed, and retrieved when needed. Traditionally, relational databases have organized data in a tabular fashion (rows, columns, tables). But this requires developers to spend lots of time reformatting unstructured data upfront, and it limits database flexibility and scalability down the road. That's a big problem because many of today's popular websites and applications (think social media) produce an incredible amount of unstructured data.
