Adam (CEO of Ditto) here, happy to answer any questions! Really excited about this partnership and the potential to combine our unique P2P capability (powered by CRDTs) with Mongo Atlas.
Our belief is that edge devices are super computers that shouldn't be treated as dumb clients. These devices can store data, perform advanced computation, and connect to each other directly - which is what Ditto enables.
This doesn't mean the cloud is going anywhere, centralized systems still play a major role, especially in large scale AI workloads (where Mongo's vector search means you don't need other tools). However, the cloud is not guaranteed from connectivity failures to backends issues (like CrowdStrike outages).
Ditto + Mongo means you can build resilient applications that leverage the best of the edge and cloud!
