Architectural optimizations reduced memory usage and query times, has more efficient batch processing capabilities, and handles higher volumes of time series data.
Encryption that unlocks new use cases.
Queryable Encryption allows customers to encrypt sensitive application data, store it securely and run expressive queries on the encrypted data for processing.
Faster horizontal scaling for high availability.
Sharding improvements in MongoDB 8.0 distribute data across shards faster without the need for additional configuration.
Resilience for unexpected application demand.
The ability to set a default maximum time limit for running queries, to reject recurring types of problematic queries, and to set query settings to persist through events like database restarts.
Reduced costs and increased scale for vector applications.
