Our Partner

FerretDB is a truly open source alternative to MongoDB, built on Postgres, and released under Apache 2.0. FerretDB turns Postgres into a MongoDB-compatible database. Run MongoDB workloads (JS frameworks, tools, drivers) on Postgres, just like if you would run them on MongoDB. Besides Postgres, FerretDB also supports SQLite as a database backend.
