10gen’s MongoDB Following the Steps of MySQL

About:

document database

,

10gen has never been shy about their plan: replacing MySQL. That’s a bold goal considering Oracle is now behind MySQL. But this could also make things a bit easier for 10gen.

Anyways, what made me write this separate post is the realization of how close 10gen is following the MySQL path:

release early and incomplete. Enhance over time
position the product as the developer friendly and fast
introduce an enterprise edition once your adoption overpassed that of your immediate competitors.

I guess I already know how it’ll end: $2 billion acquisition from a company that gets acquired by Oracle.

While the official announcement of MongoDB 2.4 version mentioned just in passing the “MongoDB Enterprise” version, other websites didn’t leave this aspect aside. Actually it’s what got emphasized about the today’s announcement. In case you wonder what’s the the 10gen’s enterprise box: Kerberos-based security and an on-premise version of the MongoDB Monitoring Service.

The only question I have now is how soon Oracle will start looking into acquiring 10gen. Or how soon it will dedicate marketing and sales resources to directly address 10gen.

MongoHQ Raises More Funding for MongoDB as Service Engine

Alex Williams for TechCrunch:

MongoHQ has raised $6 million from Trinity Ventures and a host of investors for its database service for developers. The company will use the funds to expand its public cloud offering and improve its management tools for MongoDB, the popular NoSQL database.

Undeniably there’s a lot of demand for MongoDB. 10gen is also growing fast.

But how safe is to build a business around a product that is not in your control?

10gen Transitioning From Startup to Corporation

I’ve spent most of my career in startups or small companies, that sometimes interacted with large corporation. I’ve also worked a couple of years within a large corporation. But I’ve never been through the transition from startup to corporation.

This is the phase 10gen, the company behind MongoDB, is in right now and they are hiring positions like VP of business development (Ed Albanese, ex-Cloudera), VP of corporate strategy (Matt Asay, ex-Nodeable, Alfresco, Canonical), and VP of services and product management (Ron Avnur, ex-MarkLogic).

In his first post for 10gen, Matt Asay cites 10gen president Max Schireson:

By far our most important competitor is Oracle. After that it’s Oracle, Oracle and Oracle. I see other NoSQL players such as DataStax [distributor of Apache’s Cassandra] and CouchDB as comrades in arms in the battle to persuade people that the answer does not have to be Oracle.

10gen President Max Schireson for PandoDaily:

10Gen’s vision is to build a software platform company akin to Redhat or Oracle, Schireson says. “That’s the type of company we want to build,” he says. “Those companies don’t get acquired.”

Leaving aside for a second the aspect of immediate win for 10gen and quite possibly the visible benefits for the end users, I’m wondering if such partnerships (or the lack of them) could be part of the answer to the question why only some NoSQL databases are present in managed hosting offers.

Here’s how MongoLab is introducing this partnership:

MongoLab provides, as always, primary support for operational issues (e.g. password resets, service plan upgrades, maintenance and monitoring) and usage guidance (e.g. index recommendations, schema design). Starting now, 10gen provides support escalation for code-level database and driver issues, acting as our backstop to provide patches or effective workarounds to issues that can not be solved by configuration or architecture changes.

From my NoSQL market observer position, it looks like a win-win-win situation.

Hey, it looks like the NoSQL applications panel I’ve moderated at QCon SF 2011 went live minutes ago on InfoQ. Featuring Andy Gross (Basho), Frank Weigel (Couchbase), Matt Pfeil (DataStax), Michael Stack (StumbleUpon), Jared Rosoff (10gen), and yours truly.

Drop everything and start watching it now! I promise you’ll love every second of it^[1].

10gen’s MongoDB Monitoring Service: Smart Move

You’ve probably heard of the free MongoDB monitoring service launched by 10gen: MMS, docs, and ToS.

MongoDB Monitoring Service MMS by 10gen

Leaving aside that this is a useful tool for both developers and ops people, it is also a very useful tool for 10gen to monitor and understand MongoDB adoption. A hosted monitoring system will provide 10gen with good insights into what kind of workloads and data sizes MongoDB is handling, not to mention details about frequent issues MongoDB users are facing. Last, but not least, with an SLA MMS could become a payed service or 10gen could license it to large MongoDB users that require this data to remain in-house. Smart move.

Congrats 10gen!

We read [Google’s Megastore research paper] and we were almost laughing at the similarities

HP would do well to position itself for the post-relational world by acquiring expertise for a next-generation database. 10gen has experience in developing, installing, and supporting the open source database MongoDB, which would position HP well as both a database software provider and as a cloud-based database services provider. HP desperately needs an enterprise database solution. Expect a move in 2011.
