About MongoDB
MongoDB is a document-model database. It stores flexible records instead of fixed tables and supports aggregation, transactions, text and vector search, and geospatial queries. You can download Community Server and run it on your own machine or infrastructure.
MongoDB, Inc. also sells Atlas, a managed multi-cloud version with stream processing and AI-oriented features. MongoDB suits developers building applications whose data does not fit a rigid relational schema.
