The NASA Exoplanet Archive recently reached a major milestone – 5000 known exoplanets. In thirty years, the field has exploded from an oddball set of detections around a pulsar to a Nobel-prize winning assortment of brand new worlds, bursting with colour and personality and mystery. In this talk I will review the NASA Exoplanet Archive, its holdings and data discovery tools, as well as look ahead to the next decade of planet discovery, and how we can prepare for the continued exponential rise and rise of exoplanets.
