While the crypto market never fails to attract masses of attention, it was Non-Fungible Tokens – or NFTs as we more commonly know them – that exploded into the mainstream in 2021.
From a trading volume of around $100m in 2020, the arrival of celebrities, sportstars, and global brands – creating everything from collectibles and digital art to gaming and assets for the metaverse – drove NFT trading to an estimated $22bn in 2021.
Launched in July 2021, CNFT.IO is a marketplace for NFTs, and the first ever built on the Cardano blockchain. Within just six months of its debut, close to $200m of NFTs had been traded on CNFT.IO, representing 80%+ of all NFTs sold on Cardano, and growing at around $1m per day. As of early 2022, the CNFT.IO marketplace serves 150,000 users, and lists over 1.1 million assets in its catalog.
Professor Cardano sits down with Michael to explore the world of Cryptocurrencies and NFTs.

Developers everywhere have embraced document databases. But in many cases, it’s for the wrong reasons. Take the current hype around going schemaless — it’s almost too easy to store arbitrary JSON or XML in a document database. But if you expect to filter, modify and retrieve it efficiently, you may be setting yourself up for disappointment. On today's episode, we're talking with John Page, Distinguished Engineer at MongoDB about the concepts and myths surrounding the schemaless nature of document databases and MongoDB.

Growth engineering, sometimes referred to as "growth hacking" is a technical, and systematic approach to growing the number of users of a given application or platform. Growth engineers are always coming up with new ideas and experiments to improve the users' experience. They do this by testing user behavior, and providing differing interfaces to select populations of users to see which one yields the intended results. Today, we chat with the team responsible for growth at MongoDB. Jesse Krasnostein, and Akshay Sadarangani chat about the science of growth engineering, the tools they use as well as the background and skills they leverage as part of this fascinating specialization.

Deno is a “modern” runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript that is built in Rust. This makes it very fast!
If you are familiar with Node.js then you will be right at home with Deno. It is very similar but has some improvements over Node.js. In fact, the creator of Deno, Ryan Dahl, also created Node and Deno is meant to be the successor to Node.js.
Jesse Hall joins Michael to talk about Deno and MongoDB. Check out the article Jesse wrote which covers this topic in more detail. Checkout Jesse's Video on the topic, on YouTube.

Thanks to John for building this great, inspirational project and thanks to all of you for listening throughout the year.
As of 2019, over 50% of global enterprises use at least one public cloud platform for their everyday business operations. Since then, that number has nearly doubled with many analysts predicting a similar, if not greater, jump into 2022.
The continuing flood of businesses migrating infrastructures to the cloud has fueled explosive growth. IDC forecasts the combined public cloud Infrastructure and Platform workloads market will grow to a whopping $400 billion dollars by 2025.
For developers, engineers and those interested in technology, this presents a massive opportunity. Companies of all sizes continue to seek out cloud computing expertise, offering some of the highest salaries in the tech domain.
If you’re interested in software, technology, and data… you may be thinking that you need to learn to write code and build something in order to find employment in today’s fast-paced, tech-focused economy. However… think again.
We’re going to look at a corner of the cloud, you may have overlooked.

The MongoDB Data API lets you read and modify data in MongoDB Atlas over HTTP. You don't need any additional MongoDB drivers, libraries, or connection strings; just a standard HTTP client and a valid API key.
The Data API's endpoints expose actions that are similar to the standard query methods available in MongoDB drivers. You can call them to create, read, update, delete, or aggregate documents in your cluster.
Sumedha Mehta is the Product Manager responsible for the Data API and she joins Michael for a brief introduction to the product, how it works as well as its benefits.

Here we are in November of 2021. The pandemic continues to impact the way we’re all working, doing business and connecting with other people.
One powerful way that technologists from all industries have connected is through attendance at conferences. I’m no different… I find attending a good tech conference to be a valuable part of my continuing education. From large scale conferences like the Consumer Electronics Show, and AWS Re:invent, to language-aligned conferences like Gophercon, and PyCon.
I go because it’s an opportunity to meet professionals and gain valuable perspective… and learn about the latest updates from vendors and technology providers.
On today's episode, we’re focusing on Tech Events and Conferences and to help guide a discussion about this and about the changing landscape of tech events throughout the pandemic, I’ve invited two of my highly esteemed colleagues from MongoDB’s amazing Events Management team… Nancy Monaghan and Dorothy McClelland.
If you’re a technologist interested in the new and exciting ways, we at MongoDB are approaching hybrid conferences or if you’re considering changes to the way you run and host events, this episode is for you.

Fire departments and fire rescue professionals are facing unprecedented volumes of incidents in an ever-increasing battle to save lives.
- Every year, there’s an average of 358,300 home-based fires.
- In 2017, there were at least 1,319,500 fires (wildfire, house fire, and commercial) in the United States that resulted in 3,400 deaths.
- Fire departments and fire services responded to fires in the United States every 24 seconds in 2018.

The network edge has been one of the most explosive cloud computing opportunities in recent years. As mobile contactless experiences become the norm and as businesses move ever-faster to digital platforms and services, edge computing is positioned as a faster, cheaper, and more reliable alternative for data processing and compute at scale.
While mobile devices continue to increase their hardware capabilities with built-in GPUs, custom chipsets, and more storage, even the most cutting-edge devices will suffer the same fundamental problem: each device serves as a single point of failure and, thus, cannot effectively serve as a persistent data storage layer. Said differently, wouldn’t it be nice to have the high-availability of the cloud but with the topological distance to your end users of the smartphone?
Mobile edge computing promises to precisely address this problem—bringing low latency compute to the edge of networks with the high-availability and scale of cloud computing. Through Verizon 5G Edge with AWS Wavelength, we saw the opportunity to explore how to take existing compute-intensive workflows and overlay a data persistence layer with MongoDB, utilizing the MongoDB Atlas management platform, to enable ultra-immersive experiences with personalized experience—reliant on existing database structures in the parent region with the seamlessness to extend to the network edge.
In this episode, we welcome Robbie Belson of Verizon to help us understand this fascinating landscape and its potential. If you're curious about how 5G, and Mobile Edge Computing and the impact it can have on your applications, listen in and check out an in-depth article on the topic on the MongoDB Developer Hub: https://www.mongodb.com/developer/how-to/real-time-data-architectures-with-mongodb-cloud-manager-and-verizon-5g-edge/

MongoDB is the fastest growing database on the market today in terms of users. Having MongoDB skills on a resume is extremely valuable. So, as an educator, the challenge is how to teach this so that your students have a well-rounded, current, up-to-date set of skills when they're ready to enter the job market. Today's episode addresses this specific requirement with the introduction of a new course built and published by the MongoDB University Curriculum Engineering team.
The course is entitled Introduction to Modern Databases and is now available on the University. Today, we're chatting with the creators, Julianna Chen, and Eoin Brazil to learn more about the course, and about the motivation for creating it.
