Scaleway Launches Certified Managed MongoDB® Offering: A Sovereign, AI-Optimized Database Solution for Enterprises

Paris, November 12, 2024 - At ai-PULSE, Scaleway’s flagship AI event held last week at Station F in Paris, Scaleway and MongoDB expanded their partnership with the launch of Scaleway’s Managed MongoDB®, a fully managed document database solution designed to meet the evolving needs of enterprise organizations. This collaboration combines MongoDB’s industry-leading database technology with Scaleway’s sovereign and AI-optimized cloud infrastructure, enabling businesses to leverage powerful database capabilities while maintaining full control over data residency and sovereignty.

MongoDB is the world’s leading, modern document database provider, and its flexible document model enables developers to build all kinds of enterprise-grade applications that rely on large volumes of structured and unstructured data, including those leveraging generative AI. Scaleway’s Managed MongoDB® is built to give European organizations the power of MongoDB’s flexible and scalable database technology, with the added benefit of being hosted on Scaleway’s secure European cloud infrastructure. By keeping data within Europe, businesses can address their data sovereignty concerns, while still enjoying the robust performance, flexibility, and reliability that MongoDB is known for worldwide.

Scaleway’s Managed MongoDB® is certified by MongoDB, and we hope to soon give customers access to cutting-edge functionalities like vector search and full-text search, all on an integrated platform. These capabilities are critical for businesses harnessing AI and machine learning, as they enhance the ability to manage and query vast amounts of unstructured data, supporting AI-driven applications like recommendation systems, fraud detection, and retrieval-augmented-generation (RAG).

Vector search allows companies to quickly find and process complex data, which is essential for AI models requiring fast, accurate searches within rich data representations. This is especially valuable in cases like image recognition, personalized recommendations, and RAG, where vector search helps store and retrieve context-rich data for LLMs to generate more accurate answers. Integrating vector search into the tech stack allows organizations to unlock more AI-powered experiences without investing in a new solution.

Full-text search, meanwhile, enables organizations to efficiently explore vast volumes of unstructured data using various methods, including simple, fuzzy, wildcard, and proximity searches. It’s ideal for product documentation, FAQs, catalogs, and CMS platforms.

“We are thrilled to launch Managed MongoDB® as part of our AI-driven cloud solutions,” said Damien Lucas, CEO of Scaleway. “This partnership is a game-changer for European enterprises looking to combine best-in-class database technology with data sovereignty. By hosting MongoDB on Scaleway’s infrastructure, we can enable businesses to innovate faster while keeping their data safe within Europe.”

Lars Herrmann, Vice President of Partner Ecosystem at MongoDB, added: “We want to make it easy for developers everywhere to build innovative applications with MongoDB, so partnering with Scaleway—a resilient, sustainable, and sovereign cloud provider, was a natural choice. Scaleway’s AI expertise, combined with our trusted technology, makes Managed MongoDB® an attractive solution for organizations looking to build, train, deploy, and scale AI models and intelligent applications in the cloud.”
