Charmed MongoDB documentation

Charmed MongoDB is an open-source software operator that deploys and operates MongoDB databases on IAAS/VM and Kubernetes. In addition to MongoDB’s essential operations for managing production-grade deployments, Charmed MongoDB offers advanced features such as backup and restores, monitoring, easy application integrations, sharding, and encryption.

Charmed MongoDB was created to reduce the complexity of the deployment, scaling, and the operational challenges of MongoDB database operations. Built on top of Canonical’s Charm SDK and Juju 3, it wraps the expertise of a real-world operations team into a single charm that greatly simplifies the management of all kinds of data infrastructures.

This charm is for anyone looking for a complete database management interface. This could be a team of system administrators maintaining large data infrastructures, a software developer who wants to connect a database to their application, or even someone curious to learn more about database charms through our tutorials.
