MongoDB: Which Version is Right for You?

MongoDB comes in several versions, and choosing the right one is vital for getting the most out of this database technology.

The core criteria for evaluating MongoDB implementations include the cost, your in-house skillset, whether you need support, and how much control you need. Many organizations automatically gravitate towards MongoDB Atlas, the PaaS implementation. However, that may not always be the best option depending upon specific
organization’s needs.

This paper will give a brief history on MongoDB and why organizations are gravitating toward this open source database system. We’ll then go into the four different versions: MongoDB Enterprise, MongoDB Community, MongoDB Atlas and Percona MongoDB to uncover the pros, cons and different features to give you the big picture of which edition provides the support and functionality you need.
