Patent number: 11921744Abstract: Systems and methods are configured to identify and resolve user-based issues, architecture issues, and data model issues that are introduced into distributed database deployments. Even in the context of a pre-built distributed database system, “bad” user behavior can have huge impacts on database performance. Various embodiments provide for analysis and resolution of architecture issues, as well schema issues, and can be configured to identify and resolve such problems in the context of dynamic schema database systems. Unlike relational database counterparts, dynamic schema databases do not enforce static database architecture or defined schemas. In such environments, database data and database formatting can be mostly unconstrained. If used properly, this flexibility enables easy configuration and execution. However, when improperly designed, small flaws magnify in significance as the database grows.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: MongoDB, Inc.Inventors: Cailin Anne Nelson, Golam Rezwan Khan, Duncan Armstrong, Jonathan Balsano

Publication number: 20230325408Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing a distributed database across multiple cloud provider systems. Database elements (e.g., primary, secondary, and/or read-only nodes) are distributed across multiple cloud provider systems. A provisioning component is configured to enable cross-cloud configuration options to specify the manner in which the clusters/replica set members are to be deployed across multiple cloud providers and/or geographical regions.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2023Publication date: October 12, 2023Applicant: MongoDB, Inc.Inventors: Eliot Horowitz, Cory P.

Patent number: 11615115Abstract: Various aspects provide for implementation of a cloud service for running, monitoring, and maintaining cloud distributed database deployments and in particular examples, provides cloud based services to run, monitor and maintain deployments of the known MongoDB database. Various embodiments provide services, interfaces, and manage provisioning of dedicated servers for the distributed database instances (e.g., MongoDB instances). Further aspects, including providing a database as a cloud service that eliminates the design challenges associated with many distributed database implementations, while allowing the client's input on configuration choices in building the database. In some implementations, clients can simply identity a number of database nodes, capability of the nodes, and within minutes have a fully functioning, scalable, replicated, and secure distributed database in the cloud.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2017Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignee: MongoDB, Inc.Inventors: Eliot Horowitz, John Morales, Cory P. Mintz, Louisa Berger, Cailin Anne Nelson

Publication number: 20230010652Abstract: In some embodiments, an auto-index system may be provided to determine one or more candidate indexes to be automatically created in a database system. The auto-index system may determine if one or more criteria associated with creating the one or more candidate indexes are met. In response to determining that the one or more criteria associated with creating the one or more candidate indexes are met, the auto-index system may automatically create the one or more candidate indexes, for example, by an automation agent. The one or more criteria may also be associated with respective performance metrics of the database system.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2022Publication date: January 12, 2023Applicant: MongoDB, Inc.Inventors: Cailin Anne Nelson, John Morales, Jonathan Balsano, Isabel Peters, Mark Porter

Patent number: 10997211Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to enable control and placement of data repositories. In some embodiments, the system segments data into zones. A website, for example, may need to segment data according to location. In this example, a zone may be created for North America and another zone may be created for Europe. Data related to operations executed in North America, for example, can be placed in the North America zone and data related to transactions in Europe can be placed in the Europe zone. According to some embodiments, the system may use zones to accommodate a range of deployment scenarios.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2018Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: MongoDB, Inc.Inventors: Dwight Merriman, Eliot Horowitz, Cory P. Mintz, Cailin Anne Nelson, Akshay Kumar, David Lenox Storch, Charles William Swanson, Keith Bostic, Michael Cahill, Dan Pasette, Mathias Benjamin Stearn, Geert Bosch

Patent number: 10489357Abstract: An automation system is provided to automate any administrative task in a distributed database, such that the end user can input a goal state (e.g., create database with a five node architecture) and the automation system generates and executes a plan to achieve the goal state without further user input. According to another aspect, bringing existing database systems into automated management can be as complex as designing the database itself. According to some embodiments, the automation system is configured to analyze existing database systems, capture and/or install monitoring components within the existing database, and generate execution pathways to integrate existing database systems into automation control systems. Based on the current state information, the automation system is configured to generate an installation pathway of one or more intermediate states to transition the existing system from no automation to a goal state having active automation agents distributed throughout the database.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2018Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: MongoDB, Inc.Inventors: Eliot Horowitz, Cailin Anne Nelson, Louisa Berger
