MongoDB is the leading modern, general purpose
database platform
Designed to unleash the power of software and data for developers and the applications they build, the unique
MongoDB architecture combines the best of both relational and non-relational databases. It addresses theneeds of organizations for performance, scalability, flexibility and reliability while maintaining the strengthsof legacy databases. MongoDB Atlas is a global cloud database service for modern applications as a fully
managed service.

Confluent makes Kafka enterprise-readyFounded by the original developers of Apache Kafka®, Confluent delivers the most complete distribution ofKafka with Confluent Platform, available as self-managed or fully managed Confluent Cloud. Confluent
improves Kafka with additional community and commercial features designed to enhance the streaming
experience of both operators and developers in production, at a massive scale.

Confluent and MongoDB
The MongoDB Kafka connector is both a source and a sink for Kafka data. It is supported by MongoDB andavailable on Confluent.io/hub for self managed use cases. The MongoDB Atlas Kafka connector for Confluent
Cloud enables data flow between Confluent Cloud and MongoDB Atlas. The fully managed Confluent Cloudeliminates the need for managing your own Kafka Connect clusters. When combined with the fully managed
MongoDB Atlas service, it means you can spend your time developing applications and not managing thecomplexity of the MongoDB and Kafka infrastructure. Together, Confluent and MongoDB let you build
sophisticated data-driven and event-driven applications that modernize your data architecture, on premises orin the cloud.
