Databases
Managed MongoDB on your own cluster
MongoDB managed by the Percona operator, run as a replica set with a volume per member.
Created inside a project, beside the apps that use it. Each project gets its own instance, storage and credentials.
01What it does
MongoDB, run for you
MongoDB 7.0 or 8.0 on the Percona operator, as a replica set.
A document database run the way MongoDB wants to be run: as a replica set, even with one member, so growing to three later is a setting rather than a migration. Each member gets its own volume, and bound apps receive a MONGODB_URL beside the host, port, database, username and password.
Three members give automatic failover and need three schedulable nodes. The replica set hands clients the members' internal addresses to follow, which is why it has no public port: a connection from outside the cluster would be told to go somewhere it cannot reach.
02Options
What you choose
What the console asks when you create it, in the catalog's own numbers. Anything marked chosen once cannot change without creating a new instance.
- Sizes
- small 0.5 CPU / 1Gi, medium 1 / 2Gi, large 2 / 4Gi per member
- Storage
- 10Gi per member by default; grows later if the storage class supports expansion
- Versions
- 7.0 or 8.0 (default), chosen once
- Members
- 1, or 3 for automatic failover; chosen once
- Pause
- Yes; the volumes are kept
- Public port
- None; a replica set cannot be reached through one
03Binding
What your app receives
Bind it to an app and these arrive as environment variables. The values are generated once into a secret and reach the app from there, rather than as something you copy.
- MONGODB_HOST
- MONGODB_PORT
- MONGODB_DATABASE
- MONGODB_USERNAME
- MONGODB_PASSWORD
- MONGODB_URL
04Adding it
Add MongoDB to a project
The same four steps as every service in the catalog.
- 01Open a project and go to Services.
- 02Pick it from the catalog and choose its options. Only the size is required; everything else has a default.
- 03Create it. Anyport installs it into the project's namespace, generates its credentials into a secret there, and tracks its health.
- 04Bind it to an app. The connection details arrive as environment variables, and rotating the credential never means editing an app.
