The world's most advanced open-source relational database
MongoDB
Document database and developer data platform
About MongoDB
MongoDB is a document-oriented database that stores data as flexible JSON-like documents instead of rigid rows and tables, which suits applications whose data shapes evolve quickly. Its managed cloud service, MongoDB Atlas, handles deployment, backups, scaling and monitoring across major cloud providers, while the database itself can also be self-hosted. Developers building content platforms, product catalogs, real-time applications and AI features commonly choose it for its query language, aggregation framework and horizontal scaling through sharding. Atlas offers a free tier with 512MB of storage for learning and small projects, with paid Flex and Dedicated clusters for production workloads.
