the yearly Stack Overflow survey, for one.

Find me a bunch of developers and infrastructure people who are EXCITED about running MongoDB. I guarantee you're going to find a 7-10+ year old infrastructure if you do.

Pretty misleading when it leads the most wanted category in that very survey (maybe you're thinking of what people report already using) https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2020#technology-mo...

This just isn't true. A large number of companies are building new applications with MongoDB atlas

[busterarm]

Yes, because Mongo's license prevents them from using alternatives to Atlas (read: other cloud providers). Of course Atlas growth looks good. It's them or self-hosting.

That's not the same as starting a new product on MongoDB.
