What’s new in MongoDB 8.0 ?
MongoDB is a very popular database among us. It is NoSQL, a document structured database, stored data in documents called collections.
Recently, MongoDB released its new version 8.0 with lots of new features and updates. So in this blog I will talk about the latest release of MongoDB 8.0, its features and updates.
The new features and updates will be mentioned below:
- Optimized performance for a wide variety of applications:
- Innovative encryption that unlocks new use cases:
- Fast horizontal scaling for global high availability:
- Resilience for unexpected application demand:
- Vector Search for AI:
Throughput is improved by up to 32%, with bulk writes being 56% faster and concurrent write operations during data replication seeing a 20% speed increase.
Time series data processing is significantly faster, with a 200% improvement, which is beneficial for applications in IoT, finance, and analytics.
MongoDB Queryable Encryption is a new offering that has been designed and created by MongoDB’s Cryptography Research Group allowing their customers to encrypt sensitive application data, store that data as fully randomized encrypted content in MongoDB securely, and process encrypted data using rich queries.
Horizontal scaling has been enhanced, making data distribution up to 50 times faster at 50% lower costs for single-shard clusters. This allows businesses to scale efficiently as they grow.
The new version of MongoDB 8.0 accelerates the performance management thanks to better management of unexpected spikes and long periods of high-level demand. Key features include the possibility of establishing the maximum time limits for executing requests, the rejection of annoying repetitive queries, as well as the establishment of settings for running queries that will remain in place even after the new database is started up. These capabilities facilitate steady application function in the presence of heavy user load or unforeseen incidents, therefore the teams are able to work most effectively.
In its new version 8.0, MongoDB now offers a vector search which is primarily aimed at making use of AI in applications where there is a search on high dimensional data which includes texts, images, and other non-formatted documents. This makes use of vector quantization, which allows one to execute a said activity in a more streamlined manner. This is particularly important for large scale systems such as recommendation systems, fraud detection systems or any natural language enterprise that require quick and accurate searches.
Conclusion
MongoDB 8.0 is a significant upgrade that provides improved performance, enhanced scalability, and advanced security features like Queryable Encryption. Its ability to handle high-demand applications and large-scale data operations while optimizing resources makes it a go-to database for enterprises looking to future-proof their applications.
