Sydney, March 25: MongoDB has announced the expansion of its cloud-based database service, MongoDB Atlas, to Amazon Web Services (AWS) regions in Malaysia and Thailand. The move aims to support the company’s growing presence in Southeast Asia, where its headcount has more than doubled in the past two years. MongoDB’s Asia Pacific business has now surpassed $220 million in annual revenue.
Previously available in Australia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Singapore, and South Korea, MongoDB Atlas is used by businesses worldwide for its high performance, security, and flexibility. The expansion into Malaysia and Thailand is expected to benefit organizations in financial services, telecommunications, healthcare, agritech, and manufacturing by providing enhanced availability, data sovereignty, and reduced latency.
“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,” said Stewart Garrett, Regional Vice President, ASEAN and Japan, MongoDB. “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.”
AWS is also backing MongoDB’s regional expansion, emphasising the role of cloud infrastructure in accelerating innovation.
“AWS is committed to helping customers innovate with the best tools and technologies where they need them most,” said Kirsten Gilbertson, Partner Organization Leader, ASEAN, AWS. “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.”
Among the businesses benefiting from MongoDB Atlas in the region is Thailand’s Botnoi, which leverages the platform to manage and analyze large datasets for AI-driven chatbots and voice bots.
“MongoDB Atlas on AWS helps us manage and analyze huge volumes of data easily, allowing us to rapidly innovate to deliver improved customer service solutions for our clients,” said Dr. Piyoros Tungthamthiti, Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder of Botnoi. “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.”
In Malaysia, EasyEat is using MongoDB Atlas to power its restaurant-focused software-as-a-service platform, which serves over 2,000 restaurants and four million consumers across Malaysia and Indonesia.
“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,” said Abdul Khalid, Co-Founder & CTO, EasyEat. “We expect that with MongoDB we will further simplify our operations, costs, and user satisfaction while keeping our data in-country.”
With this expansion, MongoDB continues to strengthen its footprint in Southeast Asia, providing businesses with the tools to scale and innovate in an increasingly digital landscape.
