MongoDB

Deploy fully managed MongoDB clusters with replica sets, automated backups, and horizontal scaling.

​
What is MongoDB?

MongoDB is a document-oriented NoSQL database that stores data in flexible, JSON-like documents. Antryk offers fully managed MongoDB with replica sets for high availability.

​
Key Features

  • MongoDB 6.0 & 7.0: Latest stable versions
  • Replica Sets: Automatic failover and high availability
  • Automated Backups: Daily backups with snapshot restores
  • Horizontal Scaling: Shard clusters for large datasets
  • MongoDB Atlas API: Compatible with MongoDB Atlas
  • Monitoring: Real-time performance metrics
  • Indexes: Automatic index management

​
Use Cases

  • Content management systems
  • User profiles and catalogs
  • Real-time analytics
  • IoT data storage
  • Mobile applications
  • Product catalogs

​
Getting Started

  1. Create a MongoDB cluster from your dashboard
  2. Choose cluster tier (single node or replica set)
  3. Configure authentication and users
  4. Get connection string and credentials
  5. Connect your application

​
Connection Examples

​
Node.js

const { MongoClient } = require('mongodb');

const client = new MongoClient(process.env.MONGODB_URL);
await client.connect();

const db = client.db('mydb');
const collection = db.collection('users');

​
Python

from pymongo import MongoClient

client = MongoClient(os.environ['MONGODB_URL'])
db = client['mydb']
collection = db['users']

​
Cluster Types

  • Single Node: Development and testing
  • Replica Set: Production with 3 nodes
  • Sharded Cluster: Large-scale deployments

​
Scaling

  • Vertical Scaling: Increase memory and storage
  • Horizontal Scaling: Add shards and replica set members
  • Auto-scaling: Automatic storage scaling
  • Read Preferences: Distribute reads across replicas

​
Replica Sets

  • Primary: Handles all writes
  • Secondaries: Read replicas for scalability
  • Automatic Failover: Promote secondary to primary
  • Data Redundancy: Multiple copies of data

​
Security

  • Authentication: Username/password required
  • TLS Encryption: Encrypted connections
  • Network Isolation: Private network connectivity
  • IP Whitelisting: Restrict access by IP

​
Backups

  • Daily Backups: Automatic snapshots
  • Point-in-Time Restore: Restore to specific time
  • Backup Retention: 7-day retention (extendable)
  • Export: Export to JSON or BSON

​
Monitoring

Monitor your MongoDB cluster with:
  • Operational Metrics: Ops/second, queries/second
  • Replication Lag: Lag between primary and secondaries
  • Storage: Database size and document count
  • Performance: Slow query identification
