MongoDB

Document-oriented storage for schema-flexible data, self-hosted or via MongoDB Atlas.

Where This Fits

When application data doesn't map cleanly to relational tables, as with nested configuration objects, variable-shape records, and rapidly-evolving schemas, MongoDB's document model fits better than forcing it into rows and joins. Deployed self-hosted or via MongoDB Atlas depending on the project's operational requirements.

How It's Typically Deployed

Used selectively, alongside PostgreSQL, on projects where the data shape genuinely calls for a document store rather than a relational one.
