The popular MongoDB NoSQL database is now available as a managed service on both Microsoft Azure and the Google Compute Engine, MongoDB Inc. announced at its MongoDB World event in New York.
MongoDB is already widely used in the cloud on Amazon Web Services (AWS), where some 40% to 50% of users access the document-oriented database, according to MongoDB. The exact number of MongoDB users is unknown, but the open source software has been downloaded 7 million times and has “tens of thousands” of regular users, according to the company, which develops and supports the software. There are more than 35,000 users of the company’s cloud-based MongoDB Management Service for database administration.
