## 🎇 Big Things Happening

Our Strategic Accounts team is always hard at work spreading the word about MongoDB, and that means providing stellar support for current and prospective customers! "As members of the Strategic Accounts Developer Relations Team, a significant portion of our time is spent engaging in design reviews with some of MongoDB’s largest customers, providing schema and architectural feedback and advice for some of their largest MongoDB workloads," the team shares.

"Last week, we had the opportunity to talk with a team at a major financial services customer about a risk and compliance monitoring workload currently in the planning stages of a modernization program that would see the application transition to MongoDB ... One aspect of MongoDB the customer was keen to discuss going into the review was our support for time series data.

"As a result of the design review, we were able to give the customer confidence in MongoDB’s ability to support the workload, and have a follow-up session scheduled for January to further review how MongoDB could best be deployed and configured to support the workload.

"Time series collections seem to generate a lot of interest whenever we discuss them with customers so if you haven’t taken a look in a while, it’s worth checking out all the [latest capabilities](https://www.mongodb.com/blog/post/announces-new-time-series-capabilities-coming-mongodb-6-0) in MongoDB 6.0."
