Creating a schema for a relational database is a straightforward process. Designing a schema for a MongoDB application may seem a little more challenging. However, it does not have to be if you follow a simple methodology and the main principles MongoDB has identified for its users. This talk will go over the data modeling methodology and principles, as well as reveal additional modeling tips from countless data modeling design reviews done for our customers over the last few years.

 
Speaker: Philipp Waffler, Senior Solutions Architect, MongoDB

Operations and platform engineering teams are critical in enabling thousands or tens of thousands of developers to innovate and build with MongoDB Atlas at scale. This session will showcase how to create a frictionless, self-service developer experience using an Atlas landing zone integrated with modern CI/CD pipelines.

We’ll dive into a guided demo of a GitOps-driven landing zone in action, highlighting integrations with infrastructure-as-code (IaC), automation, and robust security practices. You’ll see how these tools enhance developer productivity while maintaining operational control, ensuring compliance, and enabling rapid iteration. Attendees will gain actionable insights into leveraging GitOps workflows, CI/CD best practices, and platform engineering principles to operate MongoDB Atlas at scale, optimizing for security, automation, and efficiency.

Speaker: Wai Weng Chong, Senior Solutions Architect, MongoDB

If your application is slow there is a good chance that you should look at your indexes but what are indexes? How do they work? When should you use them? In this practical talk filled with real life examples we'll take a look at different types of indexes MongoDB supports and when and how to use them.

You'll learn about regular, compound, wildcard, and partial indexes, how they work, and when they should be used. You'll learn about rules of thumb for indexes and when not to apply such rules.

Speaker: Manish Sahni, Senior Consulting Engineer, MongoDB

Atlas Search and Atlas Vector Search were built to feel seamless to the rest of MongoDB. Learn about what is coming to the product in 8.1 and beyond to make these capabilities even more powerful and further ease development, even for search and AI applications with challenging scalability or querying requirements.

Speakers:

• Tirslen Pather, Partner Solutions Architect, MongoDB,
• Philip Meyer, Partner Technology Strategist, Microsoft

In this session, discover how MongoDB Atlas empowers your application's growth journey from inception to global scale. We'll start by showing you how to leverage a flex tier cluster as you develop your idea into a scalable MVP. As your application's demands increase, learn how Atlas seamlessly supports multi-region deployments and horizontal scaling (i.e. sharding) to accommodate your growing user base. Experience demos of Atlas' user-friendly UI, expressive API, and Infrastructure as Code tools like Terraform, highlighting how our intuitive DevOps experience enables you to effortlessly manage and scale your database. Unlock the flexibility to grow your database in tandem with your application's success, ensuring seamless expansion without premature scaling.

MongoDB's comprehensive suite of developer tools is designed to integrate seamlessly into your development and testing workflows. From the Atlas CLI for effortless database management to powerful IDE extensions in IntelliJ and VS Code, equipped with AI assistant - GitHub Copilot — MongoDB meets developers where they work. The MongoDB Model Context Protocol (MCP) server elevates this experience by bringing deep schema awareness directly into your IDE, enabling intelligent, model-aligned code suggestions and faster, more accurate query development.

With Docker support, you can easily run local MongoDB instances for consistent and isolated testing in CI environments. This session will demonstrate how MongoDB MCP and integrated tools to help you streamlines the entire software development lifecycle, empowering you to deliver the applications of the future, today.

Speaker: Minmin Du, Senior Solutions Architect, MongoDB

 Legacy modernization projects often fail. Some are merely lift-and-shift migrations from one RDBMS to another, leaving applications just as complex, costly, and difficult to adapt to evolving business needs. Others pursue true modernization, such as microservice architectures, but get bogged down by the challenges of paying down technical debt—like business logic trapped in stored procedures and outdated technology stacks. In this session, you will learn how MongoDB's Modernization Factory leverages a GenAI-powered approach to rapidly modernize legacy applications. By the end, you'll walk away with the knowledge to streamline your modernization journey and transform your application architecture to meet long-term business needs.

Speakers:

• Jake McInteer, Staff Solutions Architect, MongoDB
• Nathalie Moss, Practice Lead Lending, Bendigo Bank

This session shows how to use MongoDB Queryable Encryption in practical examples. We'll show how to configure key management, how to perform encryption, and how to query encrypted data with equality and range searches. Attendees will learn practical considerations to use QE in real-world applications.

Speaker: Brett Gray, Services Delivery Enablement Engineer, MongoDB

In this session, we will explore the essential characteristics of a practical enterprise architecture model and review how MongoDB empowers Banks to establish innovative data architecture. Enterprise architecture inherently demands a longer-term vision, with data architecture at its core foundation. Making informed decisions about your future data platform is critical to ensuring the success of your overarching technology strategy in today's rapidly evolving environment where digital transformations are still in progress, AI-driven transformations have already started and more changes to come. MongoDB developer data platform reduces architecture complexity and drives faster innovation.

The rise of AI-generated fraud, synthetic identities, and deepfake attacks has created significant business risks, while traditional KYC and verification methods burden users with time-consuming processes and impose expensive operational costs on businesses.Conventional fraud prevention approaches are insufficient for these dual challenges, making secure and efficient digital identity solutions essential.

The next generation of digital signing uses Verifiable Credentials (VCs), such as digital driver licenses (mDL). These credentials provide cryptographically secure verification that can replace outdated identity methods, allowing for flexible, step-up verification based on the necessary level of assurance. The use of VCs for digital signing not only enhances security but also simplifies the signing process, making it more convenient for both parties. At Lumin, we want to enable our customers to sign documents using VCs, enhancing security and convenience. 

Speaker: Joel Foster, Chief Commercial Officer, Lumin
