What is Managed Document Database?
Managed Document Database is a NoSQL-database based on FerretDB and PostgreSQL providing MongoDB® compatibility with main commands, drivers and tools at an affordable pricing.
FerretDB
Visit FerretDB website"The core of our solution is a stateless proxy, which converts MongoDB® protocol queries to SQL, and uses PostgreSQL as a database engine. This will be compatible with MongoDB® drivers, and should work as a drop-in replacement to MongoDB® in many cases." - FerretDB
Popular use cases
Deploy your applications based on popular frameworks such as Prisma, Rails, Spring or Doctrine with a MongoDB®-like database.
Store events or data with frequently changing schemas in a flexible JSON format. Use Managed Document Database to store and query this information, so that it powers your analytics afterwards.
Ensure your favorite tools requiring MongoDB® APIs for storage relies on a secured, open-source and fully Managed Document Database.

Frequently asked questions
Many applications do not require every single MongoDB® feature out there. Managed Document Database covers the core feature set of MongoDB®, and will continue to ensure enhanced experience compatibility with MongoDB®. Other proprietary MongoDB alternatives also support most widely used features set from MongoDB® 3.0 or 3.2 APIs.
No, we rather think for many use cases, building on top of highly mature and capable engines like PostgreSQL is a better approach. To this regard, FerretDB's, which operate between the MongoDB® drivers and a PostgreSQL database backend, seems to us a better solution.
FerretDB, the engine behind the Managed Document Database, connects to a separate PostgreSQL process and connects to it as a client. PostgreSQL engine can not be seen or connected directly to through a SQL client (to ensure consistency at the MongoDB API level).
