Video Summary
AI GeneratedAutodesk leverages MongoDB Atlas to power usage analytics for software like AutoCAD, enabling the delivery of personalized user experiences. By reducing operational overhead, MongoDB allows the team to accelerate feature deployment and transition toward a near real-time platform, serving as a central engine for their innovation.
Let's say that I am an AutoCAD customer working on that project where I am building a stadium
doing this particular set of commands again and again where I have to fill that stadium with a
whole lot of different chairs. Now you can just with a single click of a button add chairs across
the whole stadium. MongoDB is actually a very pivotal database technology for us. It's the
powerhouse that stores all the usage analytics at each user level in a single document. MongoDB
Atlas allows us to essentially focus on more of the core of our work which is working on building
insights and innovating more personalized user experiences to our customers versus more of that
operational overhead of maintaining a database. MongoDB helped us get faster at shipping our new
features, innovative ideas and testing it out in front of our customers and that is where we have
started discussions around how we can leverage other capabilities within MongoDB. We are moving
to a more near real-time platform. MongoDB has been with each step of that journey. It's something
that's right in the middle of everything and everything is surrounding that. So of course to
be able to actually say that it's just a database would be a disservice to it
as well because of course it is the thing that powers everything around it.
