MongoDB Atlas for Gaming, Startups to Watch in 2023 by @Hubert_Nguyen1

In this article, Hubert explains how as developers leverage a data platform like MongoDB Atlas for gaming, they can do more, faster, and make the game better by focusing engineering resources on the player’s experience, which can be tailored thanks to insights leveraged during the game sessions.

@Luce_Carter also published a tutorial on using Node.js and Atlas with Azure App Services, and @Diego_Freniche wrote about getting started with MongoDB and C!

And don’t forget to check out the new article by @John_Page about the economics of database operations.

We have an incredible community that’s always hard at work. On our Community Forums, we’re discussing the usage of $bucketAuto stage, which sorts incoming documents into a predetermined number of groups also known as buckets. Join the conversation!
