Webinar: Building Modern Apps on MongoDB & Red Hat
Discover how MongoDB’s developer data platform, combined with Red Hat OpenShift, gives teams the flexibility, scalability, and control they need to build and run modern applications anywhere. This session explores how MongoDB’s document model, rich query and aggregation capabilities, and multi-cloud deployment options (self-managed EA, community, and Atlas) align seamlessly with OpenShift’s secure, automated Kubernetes platform to support everything from cloud-native microservices to legacy modernization and data-as-a-service initiatives.
We’ll walk through how platform and application teams can standardise on one data platform across on-prem, hybrid, and public cloud, using Kubernetes operators and multi-cluster patterns to increase resilience and performance. You’ll see how OpenShift’s built-in developer tooling, CI/CD, and multicluster management simplify deploying MongoDB at scale—whether you choose self-managed OpenShift, managed OpenShift cloud services, or marketplace offerings. Learn practical patterns for deploying, operating, and scaling MongoDB on OpenShift so your developers can move faster while the platform team maintains security, governance, and operational consistency across environments.
