How MongoDB makes money

MongoDB earns most of its revenue from subscriptions: usage of its hosted Atlas cloud database service and commercial licenses for MongoDB Enterprise Advanced. Consulting and training add professional services revenue, while the free Community Server brings in developers who may later become paying customers.

What MongoDB does

MongoDB, Inc. provides a general purpose database platform that customers worldwide use to build and run applications. Its main offerings are MongoDB Atlas, a hosted multi-cloud database-as-a-service; MongoDB Enterprise Advanced, a commercial database server that enterprises can run in the cloud, on-premises or in hybrid environments; and Community Server, a free version that gives developers what they need to get started. The company makes money mainly by selling its managed cloud service and its enterprise edition. It also sells consulting and training. The free edition helps it reach developers who may later become paying customers. MongoDB was incorporated in 2007 as 10gen, Inc., took its current name in August 2013, and is headquartered in New York.
