All the women come to the front, please. All the women in the front. This is about falling in love. You need to be front and center. Thank you so much for joining us at our third session just before lunch. This is the business track of MongoDB World. We’re really excited to have you here today. We’ve had two great stories already, how the VA is reinventing their shared services with MongoDB. We just listened to how to bring together clinical and research data and cancer, another great topic. But I confess, there are more women in this presentation than any of the others. I wish they did. And, in fact, we’re going to hear how that works.
Look at this picture. It looks like– oh, what’s the name of the movie all about love? Love Actually, thank you. We’re going to hear about that today. We’re really pleased to have the CTO of eHarmony. Mr. Thod Nguyen is with us. He doesn’t do very many presentations, so we feel particularly honored.
Love Actually, that’s the picture it looks like
He is a CTO renowned and bringing about agile development, new technologies. He’s been the CTO at several other medium and small startups. He decided to join eHarmony, I’m not exactly sure why, hopefully he’ll tell us, two years ago, and in that process, MongoDB has come in. He shared that he’s also excited about the vision for MongoDB we’ve heard this morning. And as more and more people straggle in, I’m going to thank him for joining us today. He’s going to share the story about how MongoDB is helping make matches, how more and more people can fall in love more quickly. Imagine, if you could take the speed of development that MongoDB brings and bring it to love, we could cut out all that noise in dating and actually just find our soulmates, right? OK. Mr. Thod Nguyen, thank you so much for joining us. Please share the story for us. [APPLAUSE]
Please turn off your phones. Put them on silent. Well, thank you, xdating you guys, for coming. It has been an honor to be here. I’m very excited to be part of this first ever MongoDB World.
And like you see in a lot of those pictures– those are not stock photos, if you have any questions. Those are real, successful couples. We have about more than 600,000 success couples since the founding of the company 14 years ago. 600,000 happily married couples. So just to let you know some of the very interesting statistics.
So, well, I’m Thod Nguyen. I’m the CTO at eHarmony. For those of you who haven’t heard about eHarmony before, we are a recommendation service that provides singles with long-term and happy relationships. We currently operate across three different continents. We operate in the United States, Canada, Australia, and UK.
And at the end, I’d ask you to fill-in the survey about whether or not you fell in love today
So, on average, we have about 438 people that get married on eHarmony every single day. That translates to about 5% of all the new marriages in the US alone. With 51 million plus registered members that we have, and 25 million plus visits per month, and more than 1.2 million people that get married on eHarmony since the company was founded 14 years ago by Dr. Warren, that’s a lot of people. That’s a lot of use engagement. And that’s a lot of activities. And that translates to a lot of data that we need to store, manage, and process.
