Let’s see how things are shaping up for this announcement.

Factors to Watch

MongoDB’s third-quarter fiscal 2020 results are likely to have benefited from robust subscription revenues. Growing customer adoption of its proprietary cloud-based platform, Atlas, is expected to have been a major driver.

Notably, in the last reported quarter, Atlas revenues skyrocketed more than 240% year over year, accounting for 37% of revenues. Atlas had more than 13,200 customers at the end of the fiscal second quarter compared with more than 12,300 at the end of first-quarter fiscal 2020.

Moreover, the partnership with Alphabet (GOOGL - Free Report) division Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is likely to have enhanced the platform’s growth opportunities.

However, a higher percentage of Atlas in the revenue mix is expected to have been an overhang on gross margins. Additionally, the bottom-line performance is expected to reflect higher investments related to sales & marketing and research & development.

Further, Infosys in collaboration with MongoDB announced a new API Speed Layer solution for customers. The new solution combines the capabilities of the Infosys Microservices Acceleration Platform with Atlas.
