Today, MongoDB is thrilled to announce the expansion of our strategic partnership with DigitalOcean. Together, MongoDB and DigitalOcean are doubling down on our shared mission: to empower developers and digital-native enterprises alike with the simple operations and scalable, and now AI-forward, innovative tools they need to build world-class applications.
Through our close partnership with DigitalOcean, we bring the power of MongoDB’s document model to DigitalOcean’s managed cloud environment. This partnership helps to ensure that both developers and digital-native enterprises have access to a scalable, fully-managed, and cost-effective data platform solution, enabling them to meet evolving demands, and to accelerate the process from idea to production.
We’ve integrated MongoDB’s industry-leading data platform with DigitalOcean’s streamlined infrastructure to help customers ship faster. With DigitalOcean’s 16 data centers across 9 global regions to choose from, teams can launch fully-managed MongoDB-as-a-service clusters in as little as minutes, bypassing the manual setup of backups, replication, and security patches. DigitalOcean’s transparent pricing model and resource efficiency make it simple to run MongoDB clusters without budget surprises.
Enabling customer success
Since our partnership began in 2020, more than 9,000 customers have already taken advantage of DigitalOcean’s Managed MongoDB-as-a-service to scale and meet massive spikes in demand. Developers today rely on DigitalOcean's Managed MongoDB to push the boundaries of what's possible.
Here are two examples of how customers leveraging the MongoDB-DigitalOcean partnership are achieving impressive performance gains and greater cost efficiency while innovating on new products.
Jomashop*, a leading online retailer for luxury watches, took advantage of the combined power of DigitalOcean’s Managed MongoDB and DigitalOcean’s Gradient™ AI Platform to streamline its product data management and search engine optimization.
To alleviate the massive pain point of spending too much time manually cleaning and labeling data, Jomashop deployed DigitalOcean Managed MongoDB to support the agents it builds with Gradient™ AI Platform. Now, Jomashop can run multiple AI agents at once to enhance product descriptions, standardize naming conventions, and categorize items. By doing so, the team reduced the amount of time it spends on infrastructure maintenance by 70%*, freeing time for innovation. Overall, the company has been able to dramatically improve its ability to iterate quickly, keep data clean, and publish accurate listings at scale.
Meanwhile, Picap, a leading Latin American ride-sharing and logistics company, achieved massive cost efficiencies by migrating to DigitalOcean.
By leveraging DigitalOcean's Managed MongoDB and App Platform, Picap dramatically reduced their overall monthly digital infrastructure costs from $120,000 to just $30,000. The integration of Managed MongoDB also improved performance by 20–30%** and solidified DigitalOcean's role as a trusted partner in Picap’s continued growth. Furthermore, the simplicity and seamless scalability of App Platform allowed Picap to streamline its operations, managing 70 applications with only one DevOps engineer, all while handling over 1.5 million rides per month.
Building the applications of the future
We are incredibly excited about the opportunities the expanded MongoDB-DigitalOcean partnership will create for developers and digital-native enterprises worldwide.
“Our renewed partnership with DigitalOcean is a strategic commitment to the next generation of data-driven innovation,” said Olivier Zieleniecki, Global Vice President of Worldwide Partners at MongoDB. “By combining DigitalOcean’s global, high-performance, cost-optimized cloud with MongoDB’s flexible, unified data architecture, we’re delivering more than just tools—we’re providing a competitive edge for the AI era.”
Indeed, DigitalOcean continues to add new features to the product in making it even more scalable, performant, and cost-efficient. Some of the company’s recent feature launches include Role-Based Access Control, Scalable Storage, and Autoscaling storage.
“Our renewed, multi-year strategic partnership with MongoDB is a testament to our shared commitment to the developer community,” said Darpan Dinker, Vice President of AI/ML & PaaS at DigitalOcean. “For over five years, we have delivered a powerful combination of Managed MongoDB on DigitalOcean's straightforward, agentic cloud, allowing our customers to simplify data management and focus on building. We are incredibly excited to continue this journey, empowering the next wave of AI-native businesses and digital-native enterprises to build the future.”
