[upbeat music] Support for this show comes from MongoDB. If you're a developer stuck fixing bottlenecks instead of building the next biggest thing, then you need MongoDB. Mongo is the flexible, unified platform that gets out of your way. It's ACID compliant, enterprise ready, and built to ship AI apps fast.

Start building at mongodb.com/build.
