Singapore – MongoDB, a database programme company, has recently announced the expansion of its multi-cloud data platform MongoDB Atlas to Amazon Web Services in Malaysia and Thailand.
This strategic expansion follows the company’s rapid growth in Southeast Asia, where its headcount has surged by over 200% in the past two years. Said move solidifies the region’s role as a crucial pillar of its Asia Pacific operations, which now generate over US$220m in annual revenue.
With its availability across regions in Australia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Singapore, and South Korea, this multi-cloud data platform delivers high-performance, resilient, and secure infrastructure for modern applications. It further supports tens of thousands of customers globally.
Its latest launch on AWS in Malaysia and Thailand further enables organisations in financial services, telecommunications, healthcare, agritech, and manufacturing, such as Botnoi and EasyEat, to benefit from the improved availability, stronger data sovereignty, and lower latency.
Stewart Garrett, regional vice president of ASEAN and Japan at MongoDB, commented, “Bringing MongoDB Atlas to Malaysia and Thailand on AWS is a big milestone for us and is an important step in MongoDB’s growth across the region. We’re giving businesses the tools to tap into real-time insights, strong security, and unmatched scalability so they can roll out modern applications faster.”
“This launch goes beyond improved availability and latency—it supports digital transformation, sparking innovation and boosting economic growth across Southeast Asia,” he added.
Kirsten Gilbertson, partner organisation leader, ASEAN at AWS, also stated, “AWS is committed to helping customers innovate with the best tools and technologies where they need them most. We’re excited to support MongoDB Atlas’s expansion into Malaysia and Thailand, bringing powerful database capabilities closer to customers on our regional infrastructure. This collaboration helps businesses across Southeast Asia innovate faster while meeting their data residency requirements and performance needs.”
Interestingly, customers of MongoDB across Southeast Asia are seeing rapid innovation and growth with MongoDB Atlas.
In particular, Dr Piyoros Tungthamthiti, chief technology officer and co-founder at Botnoi, said, “MongoDB Atlas on AWS helps us manage and analyse huge volumes of data easily, allowing us to rapidly innovate to deliver improved customer service solutions for our clients. We are thrilled that MongoDB is expanding Atlas to our country, allowing us to benefit from the scalability and agility of the cloud infrastructure right here in Bangkok.”
Abdul Khalid, co-founder and CTO at EasyEat, also shared, “Our customers depend on us to manage their data to improve the customer experience. With MongoDB Atlas now hosted locally in Malaysia, we can accelerate our innovation efforts. We expect that with MongoDB we will further simplify our operations, costs, and user satisfaction while keeping our data in-country.”
