## Notes

MongoDB is built on the document model, and it runs as the `mongod` daemon, the primary process of the MongoDB system. The [install guide](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/administration/install-community-docker/) shows the Community Server started from a container image. MongoDB, Inc. publishes the server and sells an Enterprise Advanced subscription next to the free Community Edition.

The Enterprise Advanced subscription adds a commercial license for MongoDB Enterprise Server and capabilities that the Community Edition does not have. MongoDB Atlas, the managed cloud service from the same company, has its own record.

## Worth knowing

The server needs a host that keeps a process running. Some capabilities are only in the Enterprise Advanced edition, under a commercial license, so a Community deployment does not include them.
