The awards, which will be presented at MongoDB World 2016, June 28-29, 2016 at the New York Hilton, recognize companies who are using MongoDB to deliver innovative applications that are transforming businesses, and enabling organizations to actualize trends like Big Data and the Internet of Things, and attain impressive scale and agility.

MongoDB is a twenty-first century database system made for modern applications. It is the same technology used by major websites and mobile apps such as The New York Times, eBay, Craigslist, and BuzzFeed.

Swimlane centralizes an organization's security alerts, alarms and incidents to automate resolution and deliver a better ROI on current and future security investments. Using an automated workflow engine and security orchestration, Swimlane reduces manual effort by automatically responding to alerts, gathering related threat intelligence and automating the implementation of security controls. Swimlane is deployed at a number of defense sector government agencies along with many Fortune 50 organizations such as banks and retail.

Swimlane uses MongoDB to store incident metadata. The business intelligence portion of the Swimlane application uses the MongoDB aggregation pipeline to run statistical analysis on the data. Incidents are often connected, so Swimlane implemented polyglot persistence that stores relationships of incidents in Neo4J. Neo4j is a highly scalable native graph database that leverages data relationships as first-class entities, helping enterprises build intelligent applications to meet today's evolving data challenges.

"MongoDB's seamless data storage engine made it a great fit for Swimlane's architecture," said Swimlane Chief Architect Austin McDaniel. "MongoDB's aggregation engine allowed us to create sophisticated statistics on our data being collected with very high performance. It allows us to cluster and deploy large scale infrastructure for data management at a fraction of the price."

The annual MongoDB Innovation Awards recognize organizations and individuals that are creating groundbreaking applications. These projects represent the best and most innovative work in the industry over the last year, according to Dev Ittycheria, President & CEO, MongoDB
