Bringing MongoDB workloads back to open source by using FerretDB to store data on PostgreSQL

The SSPL license introduced by MongoDB in 2018 makes it difficult for developers to use the NoSQL database they love most for projects they are working on.

FerretDB allows you to use all tools, drivers, UIs, and the same query language as MongoDB and stay open-source. Our mission is to enable the open-source community and developers to reap the benefits of easy-to-use document databases while avoiding vendor lock-in and faux pen licenses.

FerretDB may use PostgreSQL and SQLite as a backend and is designed to work in Kubernetes environments. Everything is to provide developers and operations the flexibility they need to create modern applications and maintain the infrastructure. Because of that, FerretDB becomes a drop-in replacement for MongoDB in many cases.
