2022 has been a transformative year for developers. At least that\u2019s that the opinion of\u00a0Lena Smart<\/a> (pictured), chief information security officer at MongoDB Inc. \u2014 a company that has created a multicloud developer data platform called MongoDB Atlas that provides services and tools for developers to quickly build applications at the scale users demand.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re seeing more and more the value that developers bring to the table,\u201d Smart said. \u201cThey\u2019re not just code geeks anymore. They\u2019re not just code monkeys \u2026 churning out lines and lines of code. That\u2019s why I\u2019m so pleased that our developer data platform is going to give these folks back time so that they can go and innovate and \u2026 do the next big thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Smart spoke with theCUBE industry analysts\u00a0Savannah Peterson<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Dave Vellante<\/a>\u00a0at <\/span>AWS re:Invent<\/span><\/a>, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media\u2019s livestreaming studio. They discussed the future of developers, as well as the challenges of data security<\/span>. <\/span>(* Disclosure below.)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Developers will change the world<\/span><\/h3>\n

MongoDB\u2019s services and products for developers have become very popular, according to Smart. In fact, two-thirds of companies at the recent\u00a0AWS re:Invent<\/span><\/a>\u00a0conference use MongoDB to some capacity, showing just how wide-spread their influence has become. And the number one reason that MongoDB is so passionate about helping developers achieve their goals as quickly as possible is to help developers continue to work on the fastest-growing areas of technology.<\/p>\n

\u201cAutomation is \u2026 the buzzword,\u201d Smart said. \u201cSomeone has to write the code to do the automation. Give these people back time, so that they can work on ML, AI \u2014 choose your buzzword.\u201d<\/p>\n

Atlas extends MongoDB\u2019s flexibility and ease-of-use to enable unified query\u00a0application programming interfaces. This is the most natural way to work with data in any form, and it helps developers build full-text search, real-time analytics and event-driven experiences, according to Smart.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy giving people things like queryable encryption, for example, you\u2019re going to free up a whole bunch of head space,\u201d she said. \u201cThey don\u2019t have to worry about their data being \u2026 harvested from memory or harvested while at rest or in motion.\u201d<\/p>\n

Over the years as a chief information security officer, Smart has seen how security conversations around building applications and harvesting data have become more and more important. And these conversations have to start from the ground up from a developer\u2019s perspective, she explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo my job has kind of grown from \u2026 being the security geek in the back room that nobody talks to \u2026 to I\u2019ve got a seat at the table now,\u201d Smart stated. \u201cWe meet with the board. I can see that that\u2019s where the developer mindset is moving towards. It\u2019s like, \u2018Give us the right tools, and we\u2019ll change your world.’\u201d<\/p>\n
