How MongoDB Emerged As A Leading General-Purpose Data Platform In 12 Years
"We offer free online courses in a variety of areas to developers via MongoDB University."

MongoDB is a modern general-purpose database platform founded in 2007 by Dwight Merriman, Eliot Horowitz and Kevin Ryan. Earlier, Google had acquired the trio’s first venture, DoubleClick--an internet advertising company. The company used to serve 400,000 ads per second, a nightmare in terms of scale and agility.

Headquartered in New York, MongoDB has offices in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. The company has around 27,000 customers across 100 countries.
