As we all know, developers always want flexibility, variety, and ease of use in databases. Of course, the scalability and reliability of the database are also indispensable. For a growing number of developers, MongoDB can already meet these requirements. For two years in a row, this has been confirmed by the developers.
Now, we're excited to announce that for the second year in a row, MongoDB has been the database system developers most want to use in the 2018 Stack Overflow Developer Survey, based on a survey of more than 100,000 developers. .
More and more welcome
Since MongoDB's debut, its popularity among developers has grown steadily. This is mainly due to MongoDB's ease of use and flexibility; and with the most recent release, MongoDB's ease of running in every major cloud platform will surpass all previous versions.
MongoDB is always innovating, and listening to and giving feedback from developers at startups and large enterprises. The recently added change streams feature can update real-time data to downstream applications; the retryable writes feature can enhance system reliability without increasing system accountability; in the upcoming 4.0 version, we will support multiple documents ACID transactions.
Why use MongoDB
MongoDB's document model allows developers to store any type of data they want, which greatly increases developer productivity. At the same time, MongoDB's replica set function and sharding function allow developers to focus more on code without worrying about data locality, reliability, and scalability. Finally, MongoDB supports scaling from a small deployment to a large system deployment. MongoDB databases can be deployed on-premises, hybrid cloud, and any public cloud.
The news for you
Hiring managers refer to some statistics when recruiting talented developers. Some stats from the "How Developers Get a Good Job" icon are instructive. If you're a hiring manager looking to attract talented people, here are some of the most anticipated database platforms.
Developers of Javascript and Python will be encouraged to check out Stack Overflow's report as these development environments are gaining popularity. Well-known application platforms like MEAN and MERN help Javascript developers create applications quickly.
It doesn't matter if you're not using Javascript or Python, MongoDB supports all development languages.
Summarize
Developers are still the protagonists, and their choices are crucial. This news is exciting for MongoDB and encourages MongoDB to be the reliable, flexible, and easy-to-use database system that all developers expect.
