Designing for Developers: Tackling Big Data and Complex Systems
Designing for developer tools demands a unique approach. Developers rely on cloud databases to handle massive amounts of data, and creating intuitive, efficient experiences in this context is no small task. In this talk, we’ll share lessons learned from our work designing MongoDB Atlas, a leading developer-centric cloud database platform.
We’ll explore the principles behind developer-first design, enterprise onboarding strategies, and system design approaches that help make complex systems accessible. Along the way, we’ll discuss challenges and opportunities in integrating AI tools to drive better results. Attendees will leave with actionable insights to enhance their own processes, foster collaboration with technical teams, and design impactful experiences for developer audiences.
