31. MongoDB

Date: 2023-12-24

Status

Accepted

Context

We need a database to store data.

Decision

MongoDB is a document database with the scalability and flexibility that you want with the querying and indexing that you need.

For kubernetes we can use:

• KubeDB - KubeDB is a Kubernetes Custom Resource Definition for managing stateful applications. KubeDB provides a cloud native, declarative way to manage MongoDB on Kubernetes.
• Percona Server for MongoDB - MongoDB operator for Kubernetes provider by Percona.
• MongoDB Community Kubernetes Operator - MongoDB Community Kubernetes Operator provider by MongoDB.

Consequences

MongoDB Community Kubernetes Operator - is the good choice for us. It is a Kubernetes Operator for MongoDB Community Server. But it is not production ready yet. This operator does not support mongodb v7.

KubeDB - interesting solution. It is production ready. But it has a lot of features for a community edition.

So, need watch for MongoDB Community Kubernetes Operator and KubeDB.
