Who uses MongoDB

10 years ago, the use of MongoDB was somewhat niche. It was a young database with compelling features for developers like you. Now, in 2023, MongoDB is used by a myriad of varied industries, and its use cases span across all kinds of situations and types of data stored. Some of the largest banks, automakers, government agencies, and gaming companies in the world use MongoDB for their production applications. The most famous users of MongoDB are Coinbase, Epic Games, Morgan Stanley, Adobe, Tesla, Canva, Ulta Beauty, Cathay Pacific, Dongwha, and Vodafone.

The MongoDB Atlas platform has millions of users, all of whom trust that their data will be managed safely and effectively in the cloud. This popularity has taken MongoDB to great heights, not just in terms of its growth and value as a company but also in terms of its raw developer mindshare. As of 2023, one in four developers uses MongoDB extensively in production. This ratio is much larger in other developer communities such as Go and JavaScript (approximately 40%).
