The State of MongoDB, Its Open Source Community, and Where Percona Is Going With It
summary
MongoDB claims continued growth (DB-Engines #5, ~35–50M downloads last year, ~1% global DB market) and new 4.x features: refinable shard keys, compound hashed shard keys, hedge reads and resumable initial sync aimed at latency, rebalancing and faster recovery; multi‑cloud clusters land as an announced capability. Percona positions Percona Server for MongoDB as a 100% open source drop‑in with enterprise features and complements it with PMM, backup tooling and managed/professional services to avoid vendor lock‑in.
