What is IBM Cloud Databases for MongoDB?
MongoDB, a leading NoSQL database, is a document data store. IBM Cloud® Databases for MongoDB includes service plan options for MongoDB standard community version or MongoDB Enterprise Server and scalable experience with native integration into the IBM Cloud. MongoDB allows you to take advantage of powerful indexing and querying, aggregation and wide driver support.
Benefits
Fully managed MongoDB
Developers can focus on building applications rather than handling routine tasks such as high availability, backups, logging, monitoring, scaling, hardware setup and software patching. The fully managed MongoDB database offering from IBM provides ready-to-use integrations with IBM Identity and Access Management and IBM Cloud Activity Tracker to extend access control and auditing.
Highly available
Standard configuration includes three data members configured for high availability to provide a 99.99% SLA. All deployments use multiple availability zones, with three data centers in a given region, where available. IBM provides a single endpoint for ease of use, and the system is designed to be resilient to failure and reliable.
Production-ready
IBM Cloud Databases for MongoDB allows you to auto-scale disk and RAM independently with custom parameters to best fit your application requirements. Start small and grow large without migrating between instances.
Features
Rich JSON documents
Improve productivity with flexible and dynamic schemas. MongoDB supports arrays and nested objects as values.
Powerful query language
Support modern use cases such as aggregations, geo-based search and text search with rich and expressive query language from MongoDB. Easily compose JSON queries to filter and sort by any field, regardless of how nested it is within a document.
Multi-document transactions
Use multi-document ACID transactions for situations that require atomicity of reads and writes to multiple documents (in a single or multiple collections). With distributed transactions, transactions can be used across multiple operations, collections, databases and documents.
Expanded features using MongoDB Enterprise Server
Granular audit logging
Administrators can track system activity for deployments with multiple users and applications by recording schema updates; authentication; and create, read, update and delete (CRUD) operations. MongoDB Enterprise includes an auditing capability for mongod and mongos instances.
Client-side field level encryption
Allows administrators and developers to encrypt specific data fields within the database. With Mongo Enterprise, the database can automatically encrypt fields client side without any server-side configuration or directives. Client-side field level encryption supports workloads where applications must guarantee that unauthorized parties, including server administrators, cannot read the encrypted data.
MongoDB Ops Manager
Provides a management platform for DBAs with rich performance visibility through a powerful set of query profiling, diagnostics and monitoring tools.
