FerretDB Releases 2.0: A Faster, More Compatible MongoDB Alternative
We are pleased to announce the first release candidate of FerretDB v2.0, a significant milestone in our objective to provide a high-performance, truly Open Source alternative to MongoDB.
Building on the strong foundations of 1.x, FerretDB 2.0 introduces major improvements in performance, compatibility, support, and flexibility to enable more complex use cases. Some of these highlights include:
FerretDB 2.x utilizes Microsoft's newly released open source DocumentDB PostgreSQL extension, which significantly increases database performance. Among other improvements, DocumentDB introduces the BSON data type and operations to PostgreSQL, giving us the tools to store and query data much more efficiently than before. Ensuring ongoing compatibility between DocumentDB and FerretDB enables users to run document database workloads on Postgres with increased performance and better support for their existing applications.
FerretDB is an open-source, MongoDB-compatible database designed to free users from the constraints of proprietary databases. It's perfect for users who want the flexibility of MongoDB without being tied to a specific vendor.
