Ep. 25 Exploring Multi-cloud with Andrew Davidson Nov 04, 2020

Show notes

Multi-cloud clusters - a feature available in MongoDB Atlas, a global cloud database service - takes the concept a step further by enabling a single application to use multiple clouds. With multi-cloud clusters, data is distributed across different public clouds (Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Microsoft Azure), enabling deployment of a single database across multiple providers simultaneously.

In this episode, Nic and I sit down with Andrew Davidson, VP of Cloud Product at MongoDB to discuss this latest innovation to MongoDB Atlas.
