Are they doing well? Seems like the hype has kind of died down.
- WJW 3y agoThey're apparently still growing quite rapidly, though the company is not yet profitable.

- lolinder 3y agoWhy come ask a question if you apparently have inside information that contradicts the answers you get?
- superduperer 3y agoMy “inside information” is just basic knowledge of the software industry. If MongoDB is growing is like claiming Morbius is a good movie. It’s just silly. Go ahead disagree with be, but it’s kinda silly.
- insanitybit 3y agoFeel free to contact the SEC.
- WJW 3y agoThey state these things in their quarterly filings with the SEC, in which to my knowledge it is not legal to knowingly misrepresent facts. If you have actual proof that MongoDBs auditors are lying to the SEC, you can probably get a pretty good whistleblower reward or at the very least make a ton of money selling this money to hedge funds specializing in shorting failing companies.
- superduperer 3y agoThe SEC listings don’t contain real numbers about who is using the software. They can claim a bsbillion people use it as long as they can launder investor money into fake usage (like substack does) These numbers support my claim. If they had REALLY been growing they’d be a huge company right now, not having to pay people to use there products
- rubege 3y agoThey do contain their customer count - quick google search says it’s over 46,000 now which was surprising to me.
- bushbaba 3y agoThey are growing revenue which can be possible without growing adoption
- chrisco255 3y agoJust because you don't like something or it isn't favored in the HN diaspora does not mean it is an unsuccessful product. There is a great big world outside of your bubble.
- skatanski 3y agoRecent 7.0.0 version has dropped old and introduced quite broken new query planner. Caused a lot of our queries to miss. We’ve had the displeasure to work with the support on multiple related issues.
- bytearray 3y agoYeah, as a company they pretty much dominate the NoSQL space. 1B+/year in revenue and that market is still growing at like 30ish% YoY or so.

- baq 3y agoThe hype died but the tool is almost mature now and quite useful, plenty of paying enterprise customers who fly low but have fat wallets. I’d give it a few more years to be a primary data store, but it’ll do if you want a horizontally scalable, capable and performant document database to give some breathing room to the primary SQL cluster. For now, there are way too many critical issues found late in the release cycle.
