Databases Can't Be Just Databases Anymore
summary
Claims that databases become platforms drive concrete changes: MongoDB turns Atlas into a cash generator (Atlas revenue rises from ~1% to ~60%), adds Atlas charts and Atlas apps for BI and serverless backends; Snowflake ships Snowpark, container services and previews Unistore to host apps near data; SingleStore adds notebooks and a single store code engine to run Wasm and ML jobs inside the engine. Vector support spreads to general databases and consolidation cuts the number of vendors over the next decade.
