MongoDB Evolution

MongoDB Evolution

Development of MongoDB began in 2007, when the 10gen, a company was building a PaaS (Platform-as-a-service) software similar to Windows Azure or Google App Engine. 10gen focused on the database that became MongoDB as users were more interested in it.

In 2009, MongoDB was open sourced as a stand-alone product with an AGPL license. 10gen continues to sponsor the database’s development as an open source project and the source code is publicly available.

In March 2010, MongoDB version 1.4 was launched and was considered production ready. The latest stable version, 2.4.9, was released on January 10, 2014.

The project’s roadmap continues to be determined by the needs of its user community
