Microsoft Ignite, MongoDB, Inc. announced an expanded collaboration with Microsoft that introduces three new capabilities for joint customers. First, customers building applications powered by retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) can now select MongoDB Atlas as a vector store in Microsoft Azure AI Foundry, combining MongoDB Atlas’s vector capabilities with generative AI tools and services from Microsoft Azure and Azure Open AI. Meanwhile, users looking to maximize insights from operational data can now do so in near real-time with Open Mirroring in Microsoft Fabric for MongoDB Atlas. And the launch of MongoDB Enterprise Advanced (EA) on Azure Marketplace for Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes applications enables organizations that operate across on-premises, multi-cloud, and edge Kubernetes environments to choose MongoDB. With these capabilities, MongoDB is meeting customers where they are on their innovation journeys, and making it easier for them to unleash the power of data.

Through the strengthened MongoDB-Microsoft relationship, customers will be able to:
- Enhance LLMs with proprietary data stored in MongoDB Atlas: Accessible through Azure AI Foundry, the Azure OpenAI Service allows businesses to develop RAG applications with their proprietary data in combination with the power of advanced LLMs. This new integration with Azure OpenAI Service enables users to take enterprise data stored in MongoDB Atlas and augment LLMs with proprietary context. This collaboration makes it easy to build unique chatbots, copilots, internal applications, or customer-facing portals that are grounded in up-to-date enterprise data and context. Developers are now able to add MongoDB Atlas as a vector data store for advanced LLMs, all without the need for additional coding or pipeline building. And through Azure AI Foundry’s “Chat Playground” feature, developers can quickly test how their enterprise data and selected LLM function together before taking it to production.
- Generate key business insights faster: Microsoft Fabric empowers businesses to gather actionable insights from their data on an AI-powered Analytics platform. Now Open Mirroring in Microsoft Fabric with MongoDB Atlas will allow for a near real-time connection, to keep data in sync between MongoDB Atlas and OneLake in Microsoft Fabric. This enables the generation of near real-time analytics, AI-based predictions, and business intelligence reports. Customers will be able to seamlessly take advantage of each data platform without having to choose between one or the other, or without worrying about maintaining and replicating data from MongoDB Atlas to OneLake.
- Deploy MongoDB Their Way: The launch of MongoDB EA on Azure Marketplace for Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes applications gives customers greater flexibility when building applications across multiple environments. With MongoDB EA, customers are able to deploy and self-manage MongoDB database instances in the environment of their choosing, including on-premises, hybrid, and multi-cloud. The MongoDB Enterprise Kubernetes Operator, part of the MongoDB Enterprise Advanced offering, enhances the availability, resilience, and scalability of critical workloads by deploying MongoDB replica sets, sharded MongoDB clusters, and the Ops Manager tool across multiple Kubernetes clusters. Azure Arc further complements this by centrally managing these Kubernetes clusters running anywhere—in Azure, on premises, or even in other clouds.
“We frequently hear from MongoDB‘s customers and partners that they’re looking for the best way to build AI applications, using the latest models and tools.” said Alan Chhabra, Executive Vice President of Partners at MongoDB. “And to address varying business needs, they also want to be able to use multiple tools for data analytics and business insights. Now, with the MongoDB Atlas integration with Azure AI Foundry, customers can power gen AI applications with their own data stored in MongoDB. And with Open Mirroring in Microsoft Fabric, customers can seamlessly sync data between MongoDB Atlas and OneLake for efficient data analysis. Combining the best from Microsoft with the best from MongoDB will help developers push applications even further.”
Joint Microsoft and MongoDB customers and partners welcome the expanded collaboration for greater data development flexibility.
