FerretDB Version 2.0: Revolutionizing Database Operations with Prodigal Precision beyond MongoDB

FerretDB, a database designed to replace MongoDB, has recently launched version 2.0, now stable and available for general use (GA). The FerretDB project originated in 2021 after MongoDB underwent significant changes. It is not a clone or fork of MongoDB but rather utilizes PostgreSQL in JSONB mode as its backend, with FerretDB acting as a front-end layer to translate data in PostgreSQL to connect with the original MongoDB API. This allows applications to run seamlessly without the need to modify any code.

In early 2025, Microsoft’s MicroSoft joined forces to support FerretDB, boosting the project’s credibility. Leveraging features from Microsoft DocumentDB, PostgreSQL now operates 20x faster. The latest release, version 2.0, boasts improved compatibility with MongoDB, supports vector search functionalities for AI applications, offers database backup replication, and is now available for enterprise-level support. Additionally, FerretDB Cloud service is now offered as a fully managed database-as-a-service on AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure platforms.

TLDR: FerretDB, a MongoDB alternative, launched version 2.0 with enhanced features, AI capabilities, replication support, and now offers enterprise-level support and a managed database service on popular cloud platforms.
