Yes. MongoDB enabled a standards-based approach to schemas back in 3.6... should you feel you need schemas. https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/core/schema-validation/

But with Atlas, you can VPC peer if you need that level of security and performance between your app and database. https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/security-vpc-peering/

Michael from MongoDB here again. MongoDB Community is still free to view, download, modify, etc. The SSPL change affects no-one besides those offering the licensed software (MongoDB) as a public service.

I suppose but it might be interesting to note that you didn't have to wait for Amazon for that. A lot of people don't know that there exists a fully managed offering from MongoDB. It's called Atlas... not trying to sell here

Not sure about the EFF but I know that MongoDB has submitted the SSPL to the OSI and has already taken feedback from that process.

Michael from MongoDB here... Greed? You realize that anyone can still view, download, use, develop, modify and do everything they could do prior to the change - right? The only difference is that if they decide to offer the licensed softwar

Michael from MongoDB here. Are you assuming RedHat is patching MongoDB at a rate more frequently than MongoDB itself - not the case. Also, there is NO additional cost per-server-license for MongoDB Community. You should know that you can si

Michael from MongoDB here... Yep - MongoDB has continued to mature. Modern MongoDB supports multi-document ACID transactions if that's what you're asking. More information here - https://www.mongodb.com/blog/

Michael from MongoDB here. Amazon, Microsoft, and Google are certainly big players in this field, and common wisdom is that they are best qualified to scale, but in this case, we have a clear counterexample. DocumentDB clusters are limited

Michael here from MongoDB - We're currently still running tests on users ability to change from MongoDB to DocumentDB. It may not be quite as simple as exporting and reimporting the data. Many features present in MongoDB 3.6 do not wor

Michael here from MongoDB - I can't answer your question about DocumentDB and Jepsen, but there is a more recent analysis from Jepsen: https://jepsen.io/analyses/mongodb-3-4-0-rc3 . DocumentDB is built on Aurora, s

MongoDB certainly can compete at scale with AWS with MongoDB Atlas - Managed Database as a Service.

In the spirit of complete transparency, I work at MongoDB. Depending on users' specific needs and the features of MongoDB they use, the differences could go quite a bit further than 'just' support. Some of the important diffe

Client privacy issues should not preclude the use of MongoDB Atlas... Atlas offers encryption of data at rest as well as the ability to manage your own keys.

Well that’s just a ridiculously uninformed statement. Of course mongodb scales horizontally. I can share many success stories of massive scale with mongodb.

1. Managing shards and the mongos router layer should not be dubious, IMHO. Additionally - there should not be a SPOF if you've designed the architecture to leverage the native scalability aspects of MongoDB. That said, if you struggl

No. Only when you make MongoDB Available to third parties as a service do you need to make the source code of your service available.
