I spoke with Mark Porter, CTO, MongoDB, about trends in the database market, and how the so-called ‘Innovation Tax’ hinders the ability to produce outstanding tech solutions.
Among the topics we covered:
- Let’s take a look at the database market as we enter 2022. There’s a lot going on in the data and data warehouse market: Snowflake, Amazon competing aggressively, etc. What do you see as a couple of trends defining the database market in 2022?
- The Innovation Tax: The idea that clunky processes and outdated technologies make it harder for engineering teams to produce excellent tech that delights customers. How can companies strategize for this?
- You’ve written an interesting blog post about engineering teams, and how there’s a “Goldilocks Gauge” of just the right size. Please explain.
- The future of databases over the next several years? What do you see?
