MongoDB launches AI-powered application modernisation platform

MongoDB has rolled out MongoDB AMP, an AI-powered Application Modernisation Platform that aims to help enterprises transform legacy applications into modern, scalable services.

MongoDB AMP intends to helps customers modernise through the fusion of an AI-powered software platform, a delivery framework and experienced AMP delivery engineers who oversee and guide the implementation process.

By combining AMP tooling with MongoDB's repeatable framework, the company claims that customers have seen tasks like code transformation sped up by 10x or more, with overall modernisation projects sped up two to three times.

Some of the key elements of the platform were built in Australia by MongoDB’s local development team, with Australia also one of the first countries where MongoDB customers piloted AMP. 

One of those customers was Bendigo Bank, who reduced the development time required to migrate a core banking application from a legacy relational database to MongoDB Atlas by 90%.

With AI tooling, the bank was also able to reduce the time spent running application test cases from over 80 hours to just five minutes.

"This early adoption and customer feedback, combined with the talent of our local teams, played a crucial role in refining and strengthening AMP, ensuring it delivers lasting value to businesses across Australia and around the world," MongoDB's SVP of APAC, Simon Eid, said.

Last year, MongoDB released a new AI-powered feature that transforms natural language queries into data visualisations, developed by its Sydney-based engineering team.
