Over in London, Svitlana Gavrylova from Google Cloud joined our MUG to discuss how MongoDB and Google Cloud collaborate to create even better solutions for your next big project. Thomas Chamberlain from DWP discussed the process of creating a job search engine microservice.

And MongoDBโ€™s own Sam Brown demoed data localization in MongoDB, which is a crucial aspect of data management in todayโ€™s business landscape. Sam discussed how you can scale MongoDB globally and still provide localized access for either performance or data residency concerns. Great effort by our MUG leader, Sani Yusuf.
