MongoDB

Document database server built on the document model, offered as a community edition and as commercial Enterprise editions.

MongoDB is built on the document model, and it runs as the mongod daemon, the primary process of the MongoDB system. The install guide 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.
