MongoDB
MongoDB is an open source NoSQL document-oriented database. We provide these databases with daily backups and monitoring for both shared and dedicated plans.
MongoDB version
The version currently installed by the add-on is :
- on shared plans (Peanut) : MongoDB 4.0.3
- on newly created dedicated databases (plans Hazelnut and above) : MongoDB 4.0.3
About Free Databases
Free plans are recommended for test and development usage only. Using these databases in production is not recommended, because performance may vary depending on the global usage of the cluster. Therefore, before switching to production, consider upgrading to a dedicated database for better performance.
Important Note About Fair Use on Free Databases
Heavy usage of free databases may impact the shared cluster they rely upon. It will degrade performance of the other databases. To that extent, we set a soft limit of 15 operations/second. Going above the limit will expose your database to disconnection, would you not answer our notices.
Database Daily Backup and Retention
By default, Clever Cloud performs a free backup every day, with a retention of seven days. Retention and frequency can be customized for Premium customers. Each backup can be found in the add-on dashboard in the web console, along with the credentials.
Database Migration Process
The migration process is pretty much the same for each of these cases:
- migrating from a Clever Cloud shared database to a dedicated one
- migrating from an external database to a Clever Cloud one
- migrating between Clever Cloud Databases
The process consists in three steps:
- First, perform a backup and download it, either with the Clever Cloud add-on dashboard or the
mongodumpcommand from your workstation. - Install
mongorestore(a tool packaged with MongoDB) - On your workstation, use the taylor-made
mongorestorecommand line located in your mongodb dashboard page. If needed, change thensFromandnsToflags, depending on what you actually want to do (importing this database in another, importing another to this one, …)

Encryption at rest
MongoDB dedicated addons can be encrypted using LUKS with aes-xts.
The passphrase is encrypted in our database using Cipher and Nonce as bytes arrays.
To enable it, you need to ask to our support then we will perform invoicing configuration (more informations about pricing are available through support) and enable the encryption for your addon. Once it’s done, you will need to migrate your addon then the encryption at rest will be up.
