MongoDB for AWS Marketplace is the high performance, document database that you love tuned and optimized for Amazon Web Services and provisioned IOPS. MongoDB is a general-purpose database built for scalability, performance and high availability. Instead of storing data in rows and columns as one would with a relational database, MongoDB stores a binary form of JSON documents (BSON). Auto-sharding allows MongoDB to scale from single server deployments to large, complex multi-data center architectures. Leveraging native caching and RAM, MongoDB provides high performance for both reads and writes. Built-in replication with automated failover enables enterprise-grade reliability and operational flexibility. MongoDB also provides native, idiomatic drivers for all popular programming languages and frameworks to make development natural.
