Managed MongoDB
MongoDB, on the same private network as everything else.
Version 8 or 7, provisioned with credentials and TLS, reachable by name from your services and from nowhere else.
MongoDB is the database people reach for when the shape of the data is still moving. That flexibility is worth a great deal early, and costs a great deal later if the instance ends up exposed, unversioned and unbacked.
Dockup provisions MongoDB 8 or 7 with credentials generated and injected, TLS on, and no public hostname — which removes the single most common way a Mongo instance ends up in a breach report.

The exposure problem, solved by default
Publicly reachable MongoDB instances with no authentication have been a recurring source of data breaches for a decade, and almost all of them were accidents of default configuration rather than decisions anybody made.
There is no public hostname here to forget to secure. Your services resolve the database by name on the private network; opening an external route is something you have to go and do on purpose.

- Backups you have actually restoredUntested database backups fail in predictable ways: empty dumps, missing roles, wrong flags, no encryption key. Learn how to verify a restore so the file you are keeping is one that works.
- Private networking and internal domainsPrivate networking on Dockup connects project services and databases through .internal names, isolates projects, and gives previews read-only database access.

Questions this page gets asked
Which MongoDB versions are available?
MongoDB 8 and 7, chosen at creation and changeable later without rebuilding.
Is it exposed to the internet?
No. There is no public hostname by default, which is the configuration mistake behind most publicly reported MongoDB breaches.
How do I import existing data?
With mongodump and mongorestore. Provision the matching major version first, then restore into it.
