MongoDB, Inc. announced the general availability of MongoDB 8.0, which is described as the best-performing version of its document database. This update introduces significant performance improvements, reduced scaling costs, and enhanced scalability, resilience, and data security capabilities for a wide variety of applications. It is available on AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure through MongoDB Atlas, and for on-premises deployments.
Optimizations in MongoDB 8.0 improve overall throughput by up to 32% and accelerate time series data aggregations by more than 200%. These enhancements are crucial for organizations requiring secure, robust, and performant applications that operate efficiently under various conditions. The update also expands industry-first Queryable Encryption to provide full-lifecycle data protection for additional use cases.
New scale-out capabilities in MongoDB 8.0 distribute data up to 50 times faster and reduce single-shard cluster costs by up to 50% for efficient scalability. This allows applications to scale beyond traditional database resource limits by splitting data across multiple servers without needing to pre-provision increasing compute resources. The release also includes the ability to set default maximum time limits for queries and persist query settings through database restarts.
