## Notes

FerretDB is an open-source proxy that accepts MongoDB wire protocol connections and converts the queries to SQL. It stores data in PostgreSQL with the DocumentDB extension, and clients connect with any MongoDB driver. The project is written in Go and ships as a container image, a .deb package, a Kubernetes deployment and a Go library that embeds it in an application. The packages include a systemd unit that starts the server.

FerretDB Cloud is a managed service that runs FerretDB instances for you.
