More performance that doesn't need more infrastructure. Stronger security that doesn't equate to slower delivery. Deeper observability without stitching together a dozen extra tools. MongoDB 9.0 delivers on every front — with 2x higher throughput, expanded Queryable Encryption that protects data at rest, in transit, and even in use, and new Intelligent Workload Management that keeps systems responsive under pressure. Learn what's new in the latest version of MongoDB's core database, and hear from Coinbase on what resilience actually looks like when the stakes are real money, in real time.
