MongoDB 3.4 fills some enterprise database gaps

A few months back, we asked the question as to what MongoDB wanted to be when it grows up. The answers to that question impact quite a lot of organizations given the popularity of the database now ranked fifth by db-Engines. With current 3.x generation, the company that made its mark with developers as a simple, quick to implement database has been building in more enterprise-grade robustness. With the new 3.4 release, announced this week, Mongo is beefing up its capabilities for managing data placement, database consistency, and extensibility. Enterprise applications power the heart of business productivity, but they are traditionally difficult to implement, upgrade, and innovate.
