The company is simplifying developer workflows by integrating with Google’s Vertex AI for easier data retrieval using AI tools.
At Google Cloud Next 2024, held at the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas from April 9 to 11, We caught up with Shane McAllister from MongoDB to talk about what they’re showcasing this year. MongoDB, known for its developer data platform, has been working closely with Google to enhance the developer experience, and Shane was excited to share their latest updates.
One of the key announcements was MongoDB’s new integration with Google’s Vertex AI. This allows developers to use natural language queries to pull data directly from MongoDB into the Vertex AI console, streamlining workflows and making it easier to work with AI-powered tools. Shane also demonstrated some of their Generative AI demos, like the “Sentiment Chef” demo, which analyzes restaurant reviews and photos using AI for sentiment analysis and summary.
Shane emphasized how much he enjoys interacting with developers at events like this. He mentioned that they usually get three types of visitors: those new to MongoDB, those curious about their partnership with Google, and existing users looking for tips or updates. These interactions help MongoDB stay in tune with what developers need, ensuring they continue to innovate and enhance their platform.
The conference was also a milestone for MongoDB, as they received the Partner of the Year award from Google, an honor they’ve won multiple times. Shane noted that the event was twice the size of last year’s, reflecting the growing interest in AI and developer tools.
In short, Google Cloud Next 2024 was a fantastic opportunity for MongoDB to showcase its latest innovations, connect with the developer community, and strengthen its partnership with Google.
Our company is a space where ideas flourish and transform into reality.
