Who uses MongoDB?

MongoDB is used by many different industries, and its use cases span all kinds of situations and types of data. Users range from small businesses and start-ups, and even student projects, to some of the largest banks, automakers, and government agencies in the world.

MongoDB offers three different environments for you to create a database and store your data, each of which supports different developer needs:

• MongoDB Atlas: Atlas is MongoDB’s cloud database service. It simplifies deploying and managing your databases, removing the user’s responsibility to maintain hardware and keep up with software patches. You can provision your database through the Atlas UI and easily scale as necessary. When you use Atlas, you have access to additional features such as embedded full-text search via Atlas Search, vector-based search through Atlas Vector Search, and Atlas Stream Processing, which allows you to process streams of complex data. Atlas is used by those who want to focus on developing data models instead of spending resources provisioning and managing their database.
• MongoDB Enterprise Advanced (EA): MongoDB EA is the commercial edition of MongoDB. It includes additional capabilities such as an in-memory storage engine for high throughput and low latency, advanced security features such as Kerberos access controls, and encryption for data at rest. EA is ideal for organizations that require self-managed deployments on-premises, in private clouds, or in hybrid environments. The EA subscription, through which you get MongoDB EA, includes 24/7/365 support and tools such as MongoDB Ops Manager to help simplify deployment.
• MongoDB Community: MongoDB Community is the free-to-use version of MongoDB. It includes support for basic operations such as queries, indexing, and aggregation. Because it is free and source-available, MongoDB Community is often used by small businesses and start-ups looking for a developer data platform with a low barrier to entry.
