Integrations and automation that make cloud infrastructure scalable, reliable, and secure
Google Cloud and MongoDB Atlas together deliver cloud infrastructure that’s smart, resilient, and always dependable. Google Cloud’s Live Migration service and ability to resize persistent disks, for example, all but eliminate the need for planned system downtime. And with features such as virtual machine optimization and unlimited CPU auto-scaling in Google Compute Engine environments, many businesses get flawless crunch-time performance— with flat average response times, minimal errors, and no spikes. MongoDB Atlas takes the same uncompromising approach to reliability and performance. Distributed fault tolerance and automated data recovery, cross- region and cross-cloud failover support, and fully managed backups allow users to configure, restore, and query point-in-time backups with just a few clicks, and to set Recovery Point Objectives as low as one minute.
MongoDB Atlas can also scale databases up, down, or out instantly to keep applications running smoothly through even the most unpredictable and dynamic situations—and to make overprovisioning a thing of the past. This degree of dynamic scalability also makes MongoDB Atlas and Google Cloud ideal for enterprises
embarking upon mainframe modernization projects. Migrating away from aging, expensive mainframe systems to modern, cloud-native data stores and infrastructure frees these companies to think about technology as a source of opportunity and innovation—and not as a source of cost, complexity, and risk.
The MongoDB Atlas Performance Advisor gives teams powerful performance optimization tools, such as index and schema suggestions, and the ability to isolate analytical workloads, combined with real-time visibility into database metrics.
Sophisticated analytics that make businesses more intelligent
Software teams can connect Google Cloud’s AI/ML services easily to MongoDB Atlas. Features such as Google AutoML and Natural Language API make it easier than ever to form these connections quickly and easily, without specialized training or knowledge.
MongoDB Atlas, with its ability to manage massive stores of structured and unstructured data, also works well with BigQuery, making it easy to analyze multi- petabyte datasets—with queries that once took months now running in a matter of minutes. And Google Cloud’s fully managed, serverless

infrastructure allows businesses to focus on producing answers rather than handling infrastructure performance and scalability. Businesses are also using MongoDB Atlas and BigQuery to build operational data stores that combine real-time performance and scalability with intelligent analytical capabilities. These data stores can serve a wide range of constituencies—from direct consumers to data science teams— while increasing an enterprise’s ROI from its cloud-native data management strategy.
Developer-friendly security features, including default encryption for all data in transit and support for application-level encryption, and offerings such as its Cloud DLP tool.
Google's track record as one of the most prolific Open Source contributors, which includes creating more than 2,000 open source projects during the last decade alone.
Google's achievements as the developer of Kubernetes, and the popularity of Google Kubernetes Engine among developers.
Tools and technology that keep development teams productive and passionate
A 2020 survey identified MongoDB as the "most wanted" database among software developers for the fourth year in a row.1 And more developers are finding reasons to choose Google Cloud as their preferred platform for running MongoDB Atlas:
AI/ML tools that are powerful yet practical and easy to use. These give developers faster and more reliable ways to integrate AI capabilities into their data-driven applications.
Many developers already give tool and platform choices considerable weight when they think about on-the- job satisfaction and view software as a strategic asset. Google Cloud and MongoDB Atlas lead by example with teams that build and manage data- driven, cloud-native applications.
