The fastest MongoDB version ever

MongoDB 8.0 delivers the performance needed to support the most demanding applications. MongoDB 8.0 has 25% better throughput and latency than before across a broad range of use cases. Nearly every aspect was improved, including standouts like 54% faster bulk inserts, 20% faster replication and 60% faster aggregations for time series data.

New use cases for encrypted data

Queryable Encryption now supports range queries in MongoDB 8.0. This makes sensitive data easier to work with while keeping it secure.

Faster, easier horizontal scaling

As applications grow, they scale past the limits of one server. In MongoDB 8.0, scaling is faster and easier, with less cost to get started.

Ensure resilience with new controls

MongoDB 8.0 now provides greater control for teams to optimize database performance for unpredictable spikes in usage.
