Introduction

Welcome to your flexible, cloud-powered MongoDB Flex service. This product delivers MongoDB as a service.

MongoDB is a modern, document-oriented database designed for speed, scalability, and flexibility. Unlike traditional SQL databases, MongoDB stores data in dynamic, JSON-like documents, making it perfect for rapidly evolving applications and real-time insights.

Why does this matter to you? Because you need a database that grows with your business. Whether you’re building a SaaS platform, a mobile app, or an analytics engine, MongoDB gives you the flexibility to adapt your database to your application without the rigid SQL structure.

With STACKIT’s MongoDB Flex you can create instances in various configurations with a single click, which otherwise would need a high effort to realize. With replica sets STACKIT offers high availability with no user effort. With sharded clusters, you can increase performance by splitting your data across multiple entities. Both replica sets and sharded clusters can be combined and created within seconds. Furthermore MongoDB Flex integrates MongoDB seamlessly into the STACKIT universe, adopting the overall permissions and role model and backup concept.

This documentation enables you to use the full potential of STACKIT’s MongoDB Flex. The Getting started section enables you to set up an instance with common settings and connect to it within minutes. In the How-tos section you learn about all features, concepts and settings of the product in depth. The Tutorials section offers you walkthrough guides based on real world scenarios. If you experience problems while implementing or using MongoDB Flex, you can consult the Troubleshooting section to get help.
