Cloud Providers

Mingo supports connecting to various MongoDB-compatible cloud providers and alternative backends.

MongoDB Atlas

Connect to Atlas clusters using the SRV connection string provided in the Atlas dashboard:

1. Go to your Atlas cluster and click Connect
2. Choose Connect your application
3. Copy the connection string (starts with mongodb+srv://)
4. Paste it into Mingo's connection form

Atlas clusters work with all Mingo features including the Aggregator, Schema Analyzer, and Dump & Restore.

Atlas Search

If your Atlas cluster has Atlas Search indexes configured, Mingo supports $search and $searchMeta aggregation stages in the Aggregator.

Amazon DocumentDB

Amazon DocumentDB is compatible with the MongoDB API. Connect using your DocumentDB cluster endpoint:

1. Create a connection in Mingo
2. Paste your DocumentDB URI
3. Enable TLS and provide the Amazon RDS CA certificate
4. If needed, configure an SSH tunnel to reach private VPC endpoints

Note that DocumentDB does not support all MongoDB features. Some aggregation stages and operations may not be available.

FerretDB

FerretDB is an open-source MongoDB alternative that uses PostgreSQL or SQLite as a backend. Mingo detects FerretDB connections automatically and adjusts the available features accordingly.

When connected to FerretDB, Mingo:

• Hides unsupported aggregation stages
• Adjusts available query operators
• Adapts index management to supported operations

Connect using your FerretDB URI just like any standard MongoDB connection.
