MongoDB nearly doubled Q2 earnings estimates

MongoDB Inc (NASDAQ:MDB) stepped into the earnings confessional after last night’s close. The software upstart reported second-quarter earnings and revenue that topped Wall Street’s expectations and hinted at more artificial intelligence (AI) integration. In response, MDB was last seen 4.9% higher at $399.82. 

The database software maker’s earnings of 93 cents per share more than doubled forecasts, while its $423.8 million in revenue also crushed estimates. The company also issued a stronger-than-expected full-year outlook, with CEO Dev Ittycheria saying its “at the early stages of AI powering the next wave of application development.” 

Following the results, no less than nine analysts hiked their price targets, including Piper Sandler to $425 from $400 after noting re-accelerated growth amid multi-year licensing deals and renewal expansions.

Options traders are active after the report. Already today, 12,000 calls and 8,406 puts have been exchanged, total volume that is 16 times the amount typically seen at this point. These traders are betting on more upside today, too, with new positions opening at the most popular contract, the weekly 9/1 430-strike call. 

Today’s pop helped MongoDB stock jump back above its 50-day moving average, which served as overhead pressure in early August. Out of the gate, the equity jumped above the $400 level, though it’s hovering just below that mark now. Year to date, MDB is up roughly 106%.

MongoDB, Inc. (NASDAQ:MDB) Q2 2024 Earnings Call Transcript – Insider Monkey

MMS Founder
MMS RSS

Posted on mongodb google news. Visit mongodb google news

MongoDB, Inc. beats earnings expectations. Reported EPS is $0.93, expectations were $0.45.

Operator: Good day, and thank you for standing by. Welcome to the MongoDB Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2024 Earnings Conference Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. After the speakers’ presentation, there will be a question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions] Please be advised that today’s conference is being recorded. I would now like to turn the conference over to your speaker for today, Mr. Brian Denyeau. Please go ahead, sir. The floor is yours.

Brian Denyeau: Thank you, Lisa. Good afternoon, and thank you for joining us today to review MongoDB’s second quarter fiscal 2024 financial results, which we announced in our press release issued after the close of market today. Joining me on the call today are Dev Ittycheria, President and CEO of MongoDB, and Michael Gordon, MongoDB’s COO and CFO. During this call, we will make forward-looking statements, including statements related to our market and our future growth opportunities, the benefits of our product platform, our competitive landscape, customer behaviors, our financial guidance, and our planned investments. These statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties, including the results of operations and financial conditions that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations.

Software

For a discussion of the material risks and uncertainties that could affect our actual results, please refer to the risks described in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 30, 2023, filed with the SEC on June 2, 2023. Any forward-looking statements made on this call reflect our views only as of today and we undertake no obligation to update them except as required by law. Additionally, we will discuss non-GAAP financial measures on this conference call. Please refer to the tables in our earnings release on the Investor Relations portion of our website for a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. With that, I’d like to turn the call over to Dev.

Dev Ittycheria: Thank you, Brian, and thank you to everyone for joining us today. I am pleased to report that we had another exceptional quarter as we continue to execute well despite challenging market conditions. I will start by reviewing our second-quarter results before giving you a broader company update. We generated revenue of $424 million, a 40% year-over-year increase and above the high end of our guidance. Atlas revenue grew 38% year-over-year, representing 63% of revenue, and is now a $1 billion-plus revenue run-rate product. We generated a non-GAAP operating margin — operating income of $79 million for a record 19% non-GAAP operating margin, and we had another solid quarter of customer growth, ending the quarter with over 45,000 customers.

Overall, we delivered an exceptional Q2. We had a healthy quarter of new business acquisitions, led by continued strength in new workload acquisition within our existing customers. From a new logo perspective, we added 1,900 new customers in the quarter. Our direct sales team had another strong quarter of Enterprise customer additions. Finally, our Enterprise Advanced and other non-Atlas business significantly exceeded our expectations, another indication of our strong product market fit and the appeal of our run anywhere strategy. Moving on to Atlas consumption trends, the quarter played out slightly better than our expectations. Michael will discuss consumption trends in more detail. Finally, retention rates remained strong in Q2, reinforcing the mission criticality of our platform, even in a difficult spending environment.

As we’ve told you in the past, our market is different from most other software markets because the unit of competition is a workload, not a customer. We started customer relationships by acquiring the first workload and we grew from there acquiring incremental workloads over time. Over the last few years, we have oriented our entire company around winning more workloads. Starting with product. At our New York user conference held in June, we made a number of product announcements that will position us to capture more workloads faster. We introduced Atlas Stream Processing, which enables developers to work with streaming data to build sophisticated event-driven applications, the flexibility of the document model and the power of the MongoDB Query Language provide a compelling and differentiated way to process streaming data compared to alternative approaches.

Our early access program is meaningfully been oversubscribed as customers realize they can use a familiar and easy approach to work with streaming data and immediately see value. We announced the general availability of Relational Migrator, which makes it easier for customers to migrate their existing relational applications to MongoDB. We are seeing increased adoption across industries and geographies. For example, a leading international retailer was able to leverage Relational Migrator to dramatically accelerate their migration of Oracle. We also announced Atlas Vector Search, which enables developers to store, index, and query vector embeddings instead of having to bolt-on vector search functionality separately adding yet another point solution and creating a more fragmented developer experience, developers can aggregate and process the vectorized data they need to build AI applications, while also using MongoDB to aggregate and process data and metadata.

We’re seeing significant interest in our Vector Search offering from large and sophisticated enterprise customers, even though it’s only — still only in preview. As one example, a large global management consulting firm is using Atlas — Atlas Vector Search for internal research applications that allows consultants to semantically search over 1.5 million expert interview transcripts. Over time, AI functionality will make developers more productive to the use of code generation and code assist tools that enable them to build more applications faster. Developers will also be able to enrich applications with compelling AI experiences by enabling integration with either proprietary or open-source, large language models to deliver more impact. Now instead of data being used only by data scientists to drive insights, data can be used by developers to build smarter applications that truly transform the business.

These AI applications will be exceptionally demanding, requiring a truly modern operational data platform like MongoDB. In fact, we believe MongoDB has an even stronger competitive advantage in the world of AI. First, the document model’s inherent flexibility and versatility renders it a natural fit for AI applications. Developers can easily manage and process various data types all in one place. Second, AI applications require high-performance, parallel computations, and the ability to scale data processing on an ever-growing base of data. MongoDB supports its features with features like sharding and auto-scaling. Lastly, it is important to remember that AI applications have the same demand as any other type of application, transactional guarantees, security and privacy requirements, tech search, in-app analytics, and more.

Our developer data platform gives developer a unified solution to build smarter AI applications. We are seeing these applications developed across a wide variety of customer types and use cases. For example, Observe.AI is an AI startup that leverages 40 billion parameter LLM to provide customers with intelligence and coaching that maximize performance of their frontline support and sales teams. Observe.AI processes and run models on millions of support touchpoints daily to generate insights for the customers. Most of this rich unstructured data is stored in MongoDB. Observe.AI chose to build on MongoDB, because we enabled them to quickly innovate, scale to handle large and unpredictable workloads and meet the security requirements of their largest enterprise customers.

On the other end of the spectrum is one of the leading industrial equipment suppliers in North America. This company relies on Atlas and Atlas Device Sync to deploy AI models at the edge. To their field teams, mobile devices to better manage and predict inventory in areas with poor physical network connectivity, they chose MongoDB because of our ability to efficiently handle large quantities of distributed data and to seamlessly integrate between the network edge and their back-end systems. As much as we innovate our products, we also continuously innovate and how we engage with our customers. We are highly focused on reducing friction in the sales process, so we can acquire more workloads quickly and cost-effectively given the large size of our market opportunity.

Historically, the most significant source of friction has been negotiating with customers to secure an upfront Atlas commitment since it can be hard for customers to forecast consumption growth for a new workload. Given our high retention rates and the underlying consumption growth, several years ago, we began reducing the importance of upfront commitments in our go-to-market process to accelerate workload acquisition. This year, we took additional steps in that direction. For example, we no longer incentivize reps to sign customers to one-year commitments. Obviously, this has short-term impacts on our cash flow, but positions us better for the longer term by accelerating workload acquisition. We are pleased with the impact these changes have had on the business in the first half of the year, specifically, new workload acquisition has accelerated, especially within existing customers.

We believe that our efforts to reduce friction are resulting in more efficient growth and we’ll always look for ways to improve our go-to-market approach to make it even easier for customers to bring new workloads onto our platform. Now, I’d like to spend a few minutes reviewing the adoption trends of MongoDB across our customer base. Customers across industries, including Renault, Hootsuite, and Ford are running mission-critical projects on MongoDB Atlas, leveraging the full power of our developer data platform. One of the 2023 MongoDB North American Innovation Award winners is Ford. With a focus on innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction, Ford is a leader in the automotive industry and a household name around the world. Ford is committed to developing advanced technologies that enhance the safety, performance, and sustainability of its vehicles.

Their data explorer and transportation mobility cloud applications aggregate customer vehicle data from 24 different sources at a volume ranging up to 15 terabytes. Since migrating to MongoDB Atlas from the previous solution, Ford has seen a 50% performance improvement and faster rewrite times. Cathay Pacific, Foot Locker, and Market Access are examples of customers turning to MongoDB to free up the developer’s time for innovation while achieving significant cost savings. Cathay Pacific, Hong Kong’s home airline carrier operating in more than 60 destinations worldwide, turned to MongoDB on their journey to become one of the first airlines to create a truly paperless flight deck. Flight Folder, their application built on MongoDB, consolidates dozens of different information sources into one place and includes a digital refueling feature that helps crews become much more efficient with fueling strategies, saving significant flight time and costs.

Since the Flight Folder launch, Cathay Pacific has completed more than 340,000 flights with full digital integration in the flight deck. In addition to the greatly improved flight crew experience, flight times have been reduced and the digital refueling has saved eight minutes on the ground on average. All these efficiencies have helped the company avoid the release of 15,000 tons of carbon and save an estimated $12.5 million. Powerledger, Wells Fargo, and System1 are among customers turning to MongoDB to modernize existing applications. System1, a customer acquisition marketing company acquired MapQuest in 2019. At the time of the acquisition, MapQuest had a fragmented architecture that mixed disparate data persistent technologies with third-party services.

System1 selected Atlas as a key piece of MapQuest’s architecture transformation and has realized estimated cost reductions of 75% and performance improvements of 20% over its prior relational database solution. MapQuest is planning a number of future projects that we use Atlas search and time series collections to improve the user experience and create a feedback loop and location-based relevancy in different cities. In summary, I am incredibly stoked with our second-quarter results. Our ability to win new workloads remained strong and our run anywhere strategy is resonating with customers. While it’s early days on AI, we continue to see evidence that MongoDB will be a platform of choice for AI applications, just like we are for other modern and demanding applications.

We continue to invest to maximize our long-term potential. With that, here’s Michael.

Michael Gordon: Thanks, Dev. As mentioned, we delivered a strong performance in the second quarter, both financially and operationally. I’ll begin with a detailed review of our second quarter results and then finish with our outlook for the third quarter and full fiscal year 2024. First, I’ll start with our second quarter results. Total revenue in the quarter was $423.8 million, up 40% year-over-year. As Dev mentioned, we continue to see a healthy new business environment especially in terms of acquiring new workloads within existing customers. To us, this is confirmation we remain a top priority for our customers and that our value proposition continues to resonate even in this market. Shifting to our product mix, let’s start with Atlas.

Atlas grew 38% in the quarter compared to the previous year and represents 63% of total revenue compared to 64% in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 and 65% last quarter. In Q2, Atlas slightly declined as a percentage of revenue due to the exceptionally strong performance of our non-Atlas business, underscoring the demand for MongoDB regardless of where customers are in their cloud adoption journey. As a reminder, we recognize Atlas revenue primarily based on customer consumption of our platform and that consumption is closely related to end-user activity of the application, which can be affected by macroeconomic factors. Let me provide some context on Atlas consumption in the quarter. Consumption growth in Q2 was slightly better than our expectations.

As a reminder, we had assumed Atlas would continue to be impacted by the difficult macro environment in Q2, and that is largely how the quarter played out. Turning to non-Atlas revenues. EA significantly exceeded our expectations in the quarter, and we continue to have success selling incremental workloads into our EA customer base. We continue to see that our customers, regardless of their mode of deployment, are launching more workloads at MongoDB and moving towards standardizing on our platform. The EA revenue outperformance was in part a result of more multiyear deals than we had expected. In addition, we had an exceptionally strong quarter in our other licensing revenues. On our last call, we mentioned that we would benefit from a few large multiyear licensing deals, most notably the renewal and extension of our relationship with Alibaba.

We also closed some additional multiyear licensing deals in the quarter, which is a meaningful contributor to our outperformance and another sign of popularity of MongoDB and the success of our run anywhere strategy. As a reminder, under ASC 606 for both EA and licensing contracts, the term license component even for multiyear deals, is recognized as upfront revenue. Turning to customer growth. During the second quarter, we grew our customer base by approximately 1,900 customers sequentially, bringing our total customer count to over 45,000, which is up from over 37,000 in the year period. Of our total customer count, over 6,800 are direct sales customers, which compares to over 5,400 in the year ago period. The growth in our total customer count is being driven primarily by Atlas, which had over 43,500 customers at the end of the quarter compared to over 35,500 in the year ago period.

It’s important to keep in mind that the growth in our Atlas customer count reflects new customers to MongoDB in addition to existing EA customers, adding incremental Atlas workloads. Let me double-click into our direct customer count. As Dev mentioned, we’re becoming increasingly sophisticated in how we engage our customers. But some of those motions result in the line between our direct sales and our self-service channels becoming more fluid. I thought it’d be helpful to highlight two particular inter-channel dynamics that impact the channel breakdown of our reported customer counts. While these customer movements represent less than 1% of our ARR, we do expect both of these trends to continue into the future, and so we wanted to make sure you understood how they affect our reported customer counts by channel.

First, we are having increasing success leveraging cloud provider self-service marketplaces to drive new customer additions. Growing cloud marketplace volumes is a major secular trend, and we are the only ISV available on all three hyperscaler marketplaces. Customers can deploy Atlas in seconds through cloud provider consoles and can pay for it by drawing down their existing cloud commitments. This further reduces friction as it bypasses the need for our contract altogether. For this reason, our direct sales team has been directing certain new prospects to sign-up using self-serve marketplaces. We’ve added several hundred customers using this approach in recent quarters, and these customers show up in our self-serve customer count even though we have a direct sales relationship with them.

Second, we continually review and analyze product usage signals to determine the potential of our customers. Because we are focused on velocity and efficiency of new workload acquisition, we’re very careful not to deploy our reps on accounts where we don’t see significant incremental benefit from sales rep coverage. If we determine that a direct sales customer can be supported more cost effectively in the self-serve channel, we’d prefer to free up the rep’s time to focus on winning more new workloads. So far this year, we’ve moved over 300 small mid-market direct sales customers to the self-service channel. Moving on to ARR. We had another quarter with our net ARR expansion rate above 120%. We ended the quarter with 1,855 customers with at least $100,000 in ARR and annualized MRR, which is up from 1,462 in the year ago period.

Moving down the income statement. I’ll be discussing our results on a non-GAAP basis unless otherwise noted. Gross profit in the second quarter was $329 million, representing a gross margin of 78%, which is up from 73% in the year ago period. It is important to keep in mind that this quarter, we saw exceptional performance of our EA and licensing revenue, which contains a large upfront license component and very high margins, and therefore, we wouldn’t expect to repeat this performance. Our income from operations was $79.1 million or a 19% operating margin for the second quarter compared to a negative 4% margin in the year ago period. Our strong bottom-line results demonstrate the significant operating leverage in our model and are a clear indication of the strength in our underlying unit economics.

The primary reason for our operating income results versus guidance is our revenue outperformance. Net income in the second quarter was $76.7 million or $0.93 per share based on 82.5 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding. This compares to a net loss of $15.6 million or $0.23 per share on 68.3 million base weighted average shares outstanding in the year ago period. Turning to the balance sheet and cash flow. We ended the second quarter with $1.9 billion in cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash. Operating cash flow in the second quarter was negative $25.3 million. After taking into consideration approximately $2 million in capital expenditures and principal repayments of finance lease liabilities, free cash flow was negative $27.3 million in the quarter.

This compares to negative free cash flow of $48.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Three things of note on our cash flow performance in the quarter. First, as many of you know, Q2 tends to be our seasonally lowest collections quarter of the year because of low contract volumes in Q1, as evidenced by our Q1 ending accounts receivable balance. Second, while our revenue reflects the ASC 606 treatment of multiyear EA and licensing deals, most multiyear contracts are still billed annually, so there’s no equivalent benefit to cash flow. Finally, as Dev mentioned, we continue de-emphasizing the value of upfront commitments. So we’re seeing fewer of them. In other words, we are intentionally collecting less cash upfront in order to win more workloads more quickly.

As evidence of this, we grew Atlas revenue 38% year-over-year, while Atlas dollars committed upfront actually declined by 15% year-over-year. Lower upfront commitments only impact the timing of when our customers pay us, not the total payment. But this trend of declining upfront commitments will impact the relationship between our non-GAAP operating income and operating cash flow in the medium term. I’d now like to turn to our outlook for the third quarter and full fiscal year 2024. For the third quarter, we expect revenue to be in the range of $400 million to $404 million, we expect non-GAAP income from moderations to be in the range of $41 million to $44 million and non-GAAP net income per share to be in the range of $0.47 to $0.50 based on 83.5 million estimated diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

For the full fiscal year ’24, we expect revenue to be in the range of $1.596 billion to $1.608 billion. For the full fiscal year 2024, we expect non-GAAP income from operations to be in the range of $189 million to $197 million and non-GAAP net income per share to be in the range of $2.27 and to $2.35 based on 83 million estimated diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Note that the non-GAAP net income per share guidance for the third quarter and full fiscal year 2024 includes a non-GAAP tax provision of approximately 20%. I’ll provide some more context on our guidance. First, we have modestly raised our outlook for the rest of the year, primarily to reflect a slightly stronger Q2 and therefore a higher starting ARR for the second half.

We continue to expect that Atlas consumption growth will be impacted by the difficult macroeconomic environment throughout fiscal ’24. Our revised full year revenue guidance continues to assume consumption growth that is, on average, in line with the consumption growth we’ve experienced in the slowdown began in Q2 of last year, but with a slight seasonal benefit in Q3 and a slowdown in Q4 as observed over the last two years. Second, we expect to see a significant sequential decline in non-Atlas revenues in Q3 as we simply do expect similar new business activity, especially when it comes to licensing deals. For that particular line of business, Q2 was just an extreme positive outlier. Third, we’re raising our non-Atlas revenue estimate for the rest of the year, even though we don’t expect our exceptional Q2 performance to repeat in the second half, our results in the first half give us incremental confidence in our run anywhere strategy.

We continue to expect, however, that the difficult compare in the back half of the year will impact our non-Atlas growth rate. Finally, thanks to strong performance in Q2 and the increased revenue outlook, we’re meaningfully increasing our assumption for operating margins in fiscal ’24 to 12% at the midpoint of our guidance. an improvement of more than 700 basis points compared to fiscal ’23, while continuing to invest to pursue our long-term opportunity. As you update your models, please keep in mind that the majority of our planned fiscal ’24 hiring will actually occur in the second half of the year. To summarize, MongoDB delivered excellent second quarter results in a difficult environment. We are pleased with our ability to win new business and are demonstrating the operating leverage inherent in our model.

While we continue to monitor the macro environment, we remain incredibly excited about the opportunity ahead [Technical Difficulty] to maximize our long-term value. With that, we’d like to open it up to questions. Operator?

Q&A Session

Follow Mongodb Inc. (NASDAQ:MDB)

Operator: Thank you. [Operator Instructions]. One moment while we can file the Q&A roster. And our first question today will be coming from Raimo Lenschow of Barclays. Your line is open.

Raimo Lenschow: Thank you. Good new version. Congrats from me on a great quarter. Two quick questions. First, the new — or the trends you saw for EA or the numbers you saw for EA this quarter, you called out kind of bigger commitments from existing customers and taking more workloads — or returning more workloads towards Mongo. Is that — could you talk a little bit towards that in terms of is that a new trend? Was it just kind of very special this quarter? What are you seeing there? Because that’s kind of in this sort of environment, seems like against what do you see from everyone else. So maybe couple of factors there? And then the second question is on the newer products like the streaming and vector databases, how does that feed into the revenue model for Mongo? That’s it for me. Thank you.

Dev Ittycheria: Sure. So Raimo, the trends for EA, I think, is just an indication of our run anywhere strategy. We’ve been very committed to that strategy since the beginning. As you know, we started with EA and then introduced Atlas. But the whole point is that we give customers choice and we want to meet customers where they are in terms of what deployment model they want to use. And so I think this is just puts and takes of the quarter where we had a number of customers who wanted to double down on EA. And we also had some other non-Atlas business come in, in the quarter, which showed up in our results. But it’s really a confirmation of the fact that we give customers choice and customers really appreciate that, and that’s what you’ve seen in the results.

With regards to, I think you said streaming and vector, those will show up in the Atlas revenue line as incremental consumption. There won’t be a separate SKU. But what it will do is drive, as those workloads come on, that will drive incremental consumption of Atlas, which will show up in the Atlas revenue line.

Michael Gordon: Yes. I would just add that also as part of the broader developer data platform, it gives us the opportunity to win more workloads in the beginning. So you’ve got both sort of new workload penetration piece, which Dev mentioned, but also sort of the increased Atlas number is where it will show up on a revenue standpoint.

Raimo Lenschow: Okay. Perfect. Thank you, congrats.

Michael Gordon: Thank you.

Dev Ittycheria: Thanks, Raimo.

Operator: Thank you. One moment for our next question. And our next question will be coming from Keith Weiss of Morgan Stanley. Your line is open.

Keith Weiss: This is Keith Weiss on for Sanjit Singh. One question for Dev and one for Michael. Dev, you guys talked about, I think, last quarter, 1,500 AI companies using MongoDB. You talked a lot about your applicability for AI workloads. I think a question that a lot of investors have is like the time frame for when this actually creates real impacts to where it becomes significant tailwind or just software in general, but more specifically the question to you is when do you think that becomes a significant tailwind for MongoDB? When will we see that more significantly in Atlas revenues? And then the question for Michael. We talked about the commitments coming down, the Atlas commitments coming down and that being a drag on operating cash flow. Any sense you could give us on how long that drag on [OCF] (ph) persists? Is there any way to size that impact over time?

Dev Ittycheria: So, Keith, on AI, obviously, we’re really excited about the opportunity that AI presents. We continue to add many more AI customers this quarter. In the short term, we’re really excited about some of the use cases we’re seeing. We talked about Observe.Ai, the management consulting company, a more traditional company using MongoDB for very impactful AI use case. And longer term, we believe our developer data platform value prop will just drive more AI adoption. People want to use one compelling, unified developer experience to address a wide variety of use cases of which AI is just one of them. And we’re definitely hearing from customers to being able to do that on one platform versus bolting on a bunch of point solutions is far more the preferable approach.

And so we’re excited about the opportunity there. And I think you had some questions — on the other thing on partners, I do want to say that we’re seeing a lot of work and activity with our partner channel on the AI front as well. We’re working with Google in the AI start-up program, and there’s a lot of excitement. Google had their next conference this week. We’re also working with Google to help train Codey, their code generation tool to help people accelerate the development of AI and other applications. And we’re seeing a lot of interest in our own AI innovators program. We’ve had lots of customers apply for that program. So we’re super excited about the interest that we’re generating.

Michael Gordon: And on your other question, Keith, it’s been a multiyear journey where we’ve been focused on reducing friction and accelerating new workload adoption. I do think as we called out, we continue to make additional steps and Dev called out some of the specific incremental steps this year. I think it’s part of a transition. If you look at the Atlas revenue growth, Atlas grew 38% year-over-year, but dollars collected upfront shrank 15%, right? And so that gives you a sense for the magnitude or the divergence there that’s showing up in the op income versus OCF bridge. I think like most things, there’ll be a transition time period, but then it will settle into a more normalized level, but I think we’ve still got like a little bit more transition to go as we kind of work through the balance of the year.

Keith Weiss: Got it. Thank you, guys.

Dev Ittycheria: Thank you, Keith.

Operator: Thank you. One moment for our next question. And our next question will be coming from Kash Rangan of Goldman Sachs. Your line is open. Kash Rangan of Goldman Sachs, your line is open.

Kash Rangan: I’m sorry, I didn’t hear my name. Thank you very much and congrats, Dev and Michael on the quarter. It’s hard to — put up this kind of operating margin performance being a database company at the scale that you’re operating. So kudos on that. The relational migrator came off of beta and came into GA this quarter. So I wonder if that had any particular impact on the EA business because you’ve certainly up sighted your modest expectations. I want to get a little bit more detail on how that pipeline of Relational Migrator beta customers should play out? Is it going to be showing up in Atlas? Or is it going to be showing up in enterprise, the on-prem version. And on AI, just curious if you can quantify the level of consumption impact in the future to Atlas that you could attribute to the different new things that Mongo is working, whether it’s AI or streaming.

How should we think about the incremental opportunities for consumption afforded by some of the new things you launched at MongoDB live in New York a couple of months back. Thank you so much. Congrats.

Dev Ittycheria: Sure. So regarding relational migrators, it’s important for investors to know that this is really a high-end enterprise play. That’s where the bulk of the legacy relational market is. And Relational Migrator is designed to help customers reduce the switching cost of migrating off relational databases to MongoDB for both EA and Atlas. So it’s a place to — depending again on the customer’s choice of their deployment model but it’s really meant to reducing the switching costs. I would say that there was no real impact in terms of revenue of customers using Relational Migrator because we just only made it generally available in June. But there’s a tremendous amount of excitement. We have a large pipeline of customers who are very interested and are actually starting to use Relational Migrator and projects have begun, but there was no real impact on the quarter.

Shane Hastie: Hey folks. Before we get into today’s podcast, I wanted to share that InfoQ’s International Software Development Conference, QCon, will be back in San Francisco from October 2 to 6. QCon will share real-world technical talks from innovative senior software development practitioners on applying emerging patterns and practices to address current challenges. Learn more at qconsf.com. We hope to see you there.

Good day, folks. This is Shane Hastie for the InfoQ Engineering Culture podcast. Today I’m sitting down with Phil Alves. Phil, welcome. Thanks for taking the time to talk to us today.

Phil Alves: Oh, no problem. Thanks for having me.

Shane Hastie: The place I like to start with my guests is, “Who’s Phil?”

Introductions [00:49]

Phil Alves: I’m a entrepreneur, a below-average software developer. I love to build products, and I have multiple companies in my career. I also have hobbies. I love flying airplanes, and I love Brazilian jiu-jitsu. I’m Brazilian myself, even though I’ve been living in the United States for 10-plus years. Yeah, so that’s kind of like me in a nutshell.

Shane Hastie: So the reason we got together is some of the work you’re doing on technical leaders be better coaches, coaching the people around them. What does it mean for a leader to be a coach?

What does it mean for a leader to be a coach? [01:29]

Phil Alves: I like to make the differentiation between training and coaching. So training is usually the syllabus from A to B to C. We’re teaching a topic. Coaching, it’s more like we were talking to the person that we’re coaching or mentoring. You’re understanding where they are, and you’re helping them with the problems that they have right now. It’s a lot more customizable. I think sports knowledge works very well for building software. I see, let’s say, the coach of an NBA team. He’s there at the team, he’s looking at exactly what’s happening right now, and he’s bringing his players in and say, “Hey, do this different. We can do this better.”

So that’s what coaching is, and I feel like we don’t have a lot of tools and ways to do that in software development, even though we have been building software for 20-, 30-plus years. So I want to do better there. The way that I figured out that we are not that good is when I had a software team that grew from 10 to 100 and things start to fall apart because when your team is small, it’s very easy. Everyone is working together, and you can see, but once things grow and then you start adding people, just training won’t do it. You need to graduate from training to coach, and I’m building a product to help people do just that. The product is called DevStats.

Shane Hastie: DevStats, what are some of the stats? What are some of the things we can measure in this space?

Six metrics for development effectiveness [02:51]

Phil Alves: I’d like to start benchmarking where your development team is against industry standards. The industry standards coming from research that were done by Google and Microsoft, like the DORA Metric research, the space framework, and the six numbers that I like the most, it’s planning accuracy. How well are you planning? What’s the percent of the things that we say we would do that you actually got done? And more important is where we want the number to be, because if the numbers in 100%, there’s a problem. Going back with our sport analogy, it means that you’re going just for the layups. It means that you’re not taking risks enough. So where should that number be? And a good place for that number to be is 80%. That’s the sweet spot of where we want that number to be.

The next thing we look at is change in the failure rate. What’s the percent of the things that we move to production that they’re breaking? So we’re looking at that, and you’re like, “How well we are doing?” And again, if things never break, it probably means they’re moving too slow. So we want that below 10%, 15% and then we track that across teams and be like, “Okay, your change failure rate here is 5 or 6.” And that’s what we look at.

The next number of the six that are the main ones that I like to look at is cycle time. How long does it take from when we start working on something until when that code gets merged?

The next one, it’s deploy frequent. How frequent are we making deploys? The more efficient a team is, the more frequent they’re going to deploy. High-performing teams, very-high performing teams like GitHub team, they’re performing every single day. But more realistically, if you are deploying every week, you’re in a very good place.

Then we look at code review size. That’s one of my favorite numbers because that’s about collaboration and that’s about making sure that we are not biting too much. So how big is each piece of code that’s going to code review? It’s actually real code review happening, and we want that number to be 400 lines of code max. Most times, when people connect our tool to check where they are, they’re over 3,000 lines of code. There’s no way a developer is going to be able to review 3,000 lines of code.

Then we look at rework rate. What’s the rate of things that we did that we are having to redo it over and over again? And that maybe it’s because of bad planning, it’s because of things they’re changing, or for every reason.

Indicators of individual effectiveness [05:05]

So there’s many other things that the software track, but those are the six main numbers that I like to look at a team level, and then it’s called DevStats. So I like to look at numbers at the dev level. So at the individual level, I’m looking at how well is his collaboration, like how many PRs he review, how many PRs he comments, what’s the size of his own PR, his own pull request. The more senior the developer, the more I want him reviewing work and helping other people progress. So his biggest impact, it’s not actually writing code himself, but it’s helping other people get better at writing code. That’s something that’s very hard for teams to understand, and it’s a mindset shift because sometimes senior developers, and again, I see that happen all the time, they would feel like their actual work’s getting behind when they’re trying to help other people. The way that we track, we want to show their impact not only in coding production but the impact that they did with the other people. So we look at collaboration.

We also look at how many pull requests they create, how many issues they resolve, how often they’re committing, we want them to commit, and overall, what were they able to accomplish. So those are the numbers that we look at from the team level to the individual level, that allows then the coach to look at those numbers. Let’s say, again, I’m going to keep going back to sport knowledge. If you keep missing the three points, then I have to go and coach you on the… Let’s get the three points right. Here’s the same thing. If I see a senior developer not doing code review, I’m like, “Your biggest value is bringing other people up. I need you to improve your code review. I need you to do more review and less coding.” So that’s the numbers that I look at.

Shane Hastie: How do we make it safe to record these types of numbers? Because in many organizations, metrics get gained all the time. How do we make it safe? How do we make it real?

The secret for high-performing development teams is a strong culture [06:53]

Phil Alves: Yeah. I think the foundation before we look at any kind of numbers is your culture. The secret for high-performing development teams, it’s a strong culture. It’s a culture of where people can trust each other, where they know they’re not going to be shut down, where they know that they can be real, where they don’t have to lie. Where if the numbers are bad, everyone’s going to come together to fix the numbers, not to point the fault, because it’s usually like, here’s what people don’t realize, when something is wrong, it’s not a person’s fault, it’s a process issue. There’s a process that’s wrong that we have to fix. Good cultures know that.

So when they look at numbers, they understand, “Okay, there’s something wrong with our process. What can we do better here?” So it’s very hard because you are only going to be high-performing if you have a great culture. It doesn’t matter how many tools you try to put on top to track what your people are doing. The foundation, it is going to be the great culture. Then the tools are just like enhancers, and it takes time, it takes experience. Honestly, I don’t know how to teach people how to build an amazing culture, but I know that’s the foundation to any high-performing team, to any tools that can actually track numbers.

Shane Hastie: Thinking of our audience, the technical influence, or a technical leader, certainly some of the things that we’ve talked about and the metrics, they’re going to be interesting. They’re going to be useful. I personally totally agree with you that culture is the foundation. How do we build that culture? How do we nurture that culture? Perhaps, is a better term.

How to nurture culture? [08:21]

Phil Alves: I think it’s in the day-to-day with how you react to when things happen. It’s how you treat people, how you react to problems. Each culture is different, but the values they have to be set. Let’s say, if someone that’s not following those values, you have to be willing to hire and to fire based on the values that you set. So sometimes you have a superstar that doesn’t align with the values that you set. So you either change your values or you fire the superstar. You have to do that because if people don’t believe that the culture… Culture is the way we do things here. It doesn’t matter if you’re having the wow or not or what you have in the wow. Culture is the way that things happen at a company. You just have to make sure that in the day-to-day the way that things are happening, it’s to build people and to build trust, not to destroy people and destroy trust.

Shane Hastie: It sounds so easy.

Phil Alves: Yeah, sure.

Shane Hastie: If I’m in that, and I love what you’re saying about the role of the senior developer is to help others be better, many of the people who are in that position or who’ve moved into that position have got into that senior position because they care about doing the work. How do you help that person become a good mentor, coach, guide?

Moving from contributor to coach [09:39]

Phil Alves: Yeah, it’s not that he’s going to start doing the work. It’s that he has to… The percent of the time that he’s doing the work and the percent of the time that he’s bringing other people up have to be split. He’s still probably going to take the most challenging pieces. But the success of a senior person, in my opinion, is how many other people can you bring up. A success of a leader is how many other leaders can you create. You can be the leader that you wish you had when you’re coming at the latter. So that’s what you do. I think, especially in the technical space, many times people don’t have a leader that sit with them and tell them, “Hey, this is how you can simplify this.” One thing that I see most of the time, mid-level developers overcomplicate stuff.

It’s like the junior developer makes things simple. Mid-level developers make things complex. Senior developers make things simple. It goes like that cycle. So you have to be sitting with those mid-level people and help them simplify, help them grow. They also have to be in an organization to let you do that, or in some way you have to be able to show to your organization that that’s your value add, is because even if I’m very good at doing something, if I bring three other people up, I’m not going to make the work of three people. Especially if I’m avoiding helping these people avoid big mistakes, if I’m helping them move along the way, so I know it’s challenging. Working with people is a lot harder than working with technology. My computer does exactly what I tell it to do. Even myself, I like to call myself a below-average coder, and when I’m in code, the computer does what I want it to do, but people don’t. So that’s another skew to do it.

So you have to develop that. But there’s a lot of growth that come from that space and from being able to migrate a little bit more into the mentor and the coach. That’s how you go from a senior engineer to VP of Engineering, because then the VP of Engineering is really their coach. Then I feel like you still have to be looking at pull request size. You still have to be looking at how codes were written, you still have to be helping with code review, and you have to be there coaching your players.

Shane Hastie: Something that you’ve been quoted as saying is moving from developer mindset to developer skillset or building developer mindset and develop skillset. What do you mean by that?

The developer mindset is about developing people [11:48]

Phil Alves: You have to get in a place where you’re not only writing software but you are developing people. Developing software is a thing, but developing people is another thing. I think if you can do the transition as a developer, you’re going to grow a lot. Another thing is, you can get from a place of writing stuff to influencing software. Like a senior person or a leader, you can influence what’s going to be done, how it’s going to be done, why, what’s better. I personally think that’s a better place to be, where you’re not just writing stuff but you are influencing, deciding, and helping shape a vision of how products are going to look like or how a team’s going to look like. That’s a good place to be.

Shane Hastie: Another thing, you’ve touched a number of times on simplicity, and you mentioned the mid-level developer has a tendency to make things complex. How do we coach people? How do we teach people? How do we support people in that simple is good mindset? But not too simple perhaps.

Simplicity is the highest degree of sophistication [12:50]

Phil Alves: I think simplicity is the biggest degree of sophistication. I didn’t say that. I don’t know who said that, but it’s somewhere I read that and I kept repeating like, “Our biggest value in my organization is keeping it simple.” What happens is, when we start learning a lot of stuff, we want to use everything that we learn, but we have to make sure that we are just doing what’s necessary for the task. I think the way we coach that, it’s by showing people how much easier it is to onboard someone into a product that kept things simple. It’s showing people that the most senior person that gets the biggest salary is writing simple stuff. I’m like, “Look, this is how I do it.” You don’t have to overcomplicate because you learned about this somewhere or because you think that that gives you more value. The biggest value it is to get software to market quick and to be able to onboard team members quick.

What I like to say is that at the end of the day, we’re building products, and we have to think, “How can I build a product as fast as I can?” So I know it’s a hard concept, and I think in the past years we made things a lot more complicated with all the money that was in the tech world because we had so much money. Then there’s things with hundreds and hundreds of developers. But now that the money’s tight, people are going back to how can I simplify this? How can I do more with less?

But I feel like that was always the way to go, and is that we made a detour into the wrong direction, where we’re overcomplicated. We keep saying that we don’t have enough developers. Is it because we’re complicating stuff so much that we always need hundreds of developers to do any little thing, so we really need to? But now where people have less resources, they have to do things with less, I see a big point to simplicity. But in the last six, seven years, I saw things getting more and more complex, and people want to adding more and more pieces. I guess it goes in cycles.

Shane Hastie: How do we really support our people? As a technical leader, as a senior dev, what does it mean to really support the people that work with me?

Supporting others as technical leader [14:48]

Phil Alves: I think it meant that you are coaching, you are getting to what they’re doing. You’re not leaving them alone. You are there for them, and you’re looking at the right things, the right data points that’s going to help that person be better. For example, if their pull requests are too big, you’re helping them break down tasks in smaller tasks, you’re helping them plan to that. You’re showing how you do it. So now they’re having smaller pull requests, and I think, again, it’s about doing by example, the best way that I know about teaching anything, do it together. Let me show you how I do it. Come here and shadow me. Or let’s do a pair programming. Let’s get better at this. But also just giving you that person a place of safety where they can raise their hand. They can say, “I don’t know.”

Another thing that I feel like senior people are very good at saying, it’s I don’t know. Junior and mid-level people are not very good at doing that because they’re afraid of looking stupid. They’re afraid of say, “I don’t know.” So getting that person that you’re mentoring and that you are coaching to a place where they start feeling comfortable saying, I don’t know, or they hear you and see you saying, I don’t know, and being humble, that’s where we’re going to really help someone develop. Because if they’re not comfortable to ask for help to say, I don’t know, to look at their data points, where’s good? What’s bad? To be open and be vulnerable, it’s going to be very hard to help someone grow.

Shane Hastie: These are not skills that we typically teach developers in their journey to becoming a senior developer. So how do I learn to coach? How do I learn to teach others?

Phil Alves: By doing. You learn from people, from good coaches. I believe if you don’t have a good coach, maybe you should try to find a job where you have one if you want to be a great coach one day. So that’s what I honestly believe. You learn from other people. You learn from books. You learn by doing. Books are great, but we can talk about theory all day long, but only when people actually start doing and it started reflecting what they did that they’re going to get better at. I can’t read everything about flying an airplane, but unless I go fly the airplane, I’m not ever going to become a pilot. That’s how things work.

Shane Hastie: There’ve been some interesting points and great ideas in this conversation. If people want to continue the conversation, where do they find you?

Phil Alves: You can find me at philalves.com, my website. I’m also on LinkedIn, and they could also go and try DevStats at devstats.com. It’s pretrial. We don’t even ask a credit card, and they can start looking at those data points and how you can better mentor their developers.

Shane Hastie: Thank you so much.
