Discover the Power of Free Cloud Databases

Yes, you can use SQL Server for free through the AWS Free Tier or by downloading SQL Server Express, which is a free edition of Microsoft SQL Server. This version is suitable for small applications and learning purposes.

Yes, most cloud databases, including those in the free tier, support integration with various third-party services and may offer free credits. This allows you to enhance your applications with additional functionality, such as analytics, monitoring, and security tools.

The free tier is one of the resources offered by many cloud service providers that allows you to use a limited set of features without cost.

There are various free databases available for different needs. MongoDB Atlas offers a free tier for cloud-based NoSQL databases. PostgreSQL and MySQL also offer free versions that can be used locally or in the cloud.

You can get started with a MongoDB developer sandbox in MongoDB Atlas for free with basic configuration options. No credit cards are required to provision a cluster, and you can use it to explore and learn more about MongoDB Atlas, the database-as-a-service platform from MongoDB.

A community edition of MongoDB, with a limited set of features, can also be downloaded from MongoDB’s download page. This local installation will require you to configure and manage your MongoDB instance on your infrastructure.

This free-to-use version of MongoDB is available under the server side public license (SSPL), which means you can use and modify the source code, but you can’t use the source code as a commercial SaaS offering.

MongoDB has a flexible pricing structure.

• Starting with a free tier is the best way to learn and explore all the features the database-as-a-service platform has to offer.
• Once you are ready to go to production and require advanced features such as sharding or backups, you can explore the option to upgrade to one of the paid tiers.
• Pricing will vary depending on the size and resources required by your application. A serverless offering is also available for an even more flexible pricing option.

If you prefer to install, configure, and manage your instances of MongoDB, you can also download the community version. A commercial Enterprise Advanced license is available for on-premise usage to benefit from all the features MongoDB offers by contacting our sales teams.

If you want to try out MongoDB for free, the easiest way is to use MongoDB Atlas, the database-as-a-service platform by MongoDB. Yet, you sometimes might need to install a local version of the database. If you want to download MongoDB to run it on your infrastructure, you can find a community edition available for download on the MongoDB download page.

MongoDB Compass, the graphical user interface (GUI) for querying, analyzing, and managing your data on MongoDB clusters, is free to use. It is available for download on macOS, Windows, and Linux on the MongoDB download page.

MongoDB Ops Manager is a tool to help your operation team manage your MongoDB instances. Ops Manager is available as part of the MongoDB Enterprise Advanced subscription. It can be found on the MongoDB download page.
