Warning Signs That You Need to Upgrade Your MongoDB to the Latest Version

MongoDB 3.2 or 3.4 has been working great for your organization, or so you thought. When MongoDB 3.6 was announced, you may have put that information on the back burner. “Why bother fixing something that isn’t broken,” is a common train of thought in this situation. However, when you look at your database operations closely, you’ll discover that the warning signs indicating that it’s time to upgrade are staring right at you. And with version 4.0 now available, the time is now to start planning your upgrade.

Article | April 18, 2024

Whilst there are many people that associate AI with sci-fi novels and films, its reputation as an antagonist to fictional dystopic worlds is now becoming a thing of the past, as the technology becomes more and more integrated into our everyday lives. AI technologies have become increasingly more present in our daily lives, not just with Alexa’s in the home, but also throughout businesses everywhere, disrupting a variety of different industries with often tremendous results.

The advances of AI in healthcare

Article | June 7, 2024

With the Government investing £250 million into the project, the Lab will consider how to use AI for the benefit of patients – whether this be the deployment of existing AI methods, the development of new technologies or the testing of their safety. Amongst other things, the initiative will aim to deliver earlier diagnoses of cancer. It is estimated that in excess of 50,000 extra patients could see their cancer being detected at an early stage, thus boosting survival rates. More specifically, a study has shown that AI is quicker in identifying brain tumour tissue than a pathologist.This would have a positive knock-on effect in other areas, such as enabling money to be saved (that otherwise would have been spent on further treatment) and reducing the workload of staff (at a time when there is a crisis in NHS workforce numbers).

MongoDB Security Error Leaks 808m Records

Infosecurity Magazine | March 08, 2019

Security researchers have discovered a massive trove of over 808 million records, including email addresses, phone numbers and other personal information (PII) left exposed on a MongoDB instance. Bob Diachenko claimed to have found the non-password protected, 150GB MongoDB instance at the end of February. A “mailEmailDatabase” contained three folders: with over 798 million email records in one; around 4.2 million email-plus-phone records in another; and 6.2 million “business leads” records in a third including gender, date of birth, mortgage details, corporate information, social media accounts and more. “As part of the verification process I cross-checked a random selection of records with Troy Hunt’s HaveIBeenPwned database. Based on the results, I came to conclusion that this is not just another ‘collection’ of previously leaked sources but a completely unique set of data,” explained Diachenko in a blog post. “Although, not all records contained the detailed profile information about the email owner, a large amount of records were very detailed. We are still talking about millions of records.” The researcher at first believed the plain text trove belonged to a professional spammer, but soon found out that the database owner was actually an “email validation” firm, Verifications.io — which tries email lists on behalf of its clients to see if they are still working accounts.

AWS creates MongoDB-compatible managed database

iTnews | January 10, 2019

Amazon Web Services this morning took the wraps off DocumentDB, a document database “designed to be compatible with existing MongoDB applications and tools.” Chief evangelist Jeff Barr said in a blog post that DocumentDB “is compatible with version 3.6 of MongoDB”. “Internally, Amazon DocumentDB implements the MongoDB 3.6 API by emulating the responses that a MongoDB client expects from a MongoDB server,” Barr said. Nathan Peck, a developer advocate for AWS’ elastic container service, said in a Twitter thread that he had been able to play with the new managed database pre-launch. “As a long time user of MongoDB I was highly impressed by the scalability of DocumentDB and how it streamlined some of the traditional MongoDB pain points that I've experienced over the past six years of production MongoDB use,” he said. But the announcement of DocumentDB also raised some concerns. First, MongoDB revised its licensing late last year in a bid to make those that offered commercial hosted versions of the database comply with open source rules and give back to the communities that made the software. As both Geekwire and Techcrunch pointed out, DocumentDB is compatible with a version of MongoDB that pre-dates the new licensing regime, meaning the compatibility is unlikely to require commercial licensing from MongoDB. On this, even MongoDB was unsure.
