IT shops that want professional support for MongoDB without paying for the enterprise edition of the company's increasingly popular NoSQL database now have an option from MongoDB itself.
The company is offering support plans for running MongoDB's community edition in production scenarios, according to a blog post Monday.
"Over the past few years, we've heard from many users that they love our Community Edition, and wish there was a simple way to buy support for it," the post states. "Now there is."
MongoDB has decoupled the production support component from the enterprise edition and will provide it as a stand-alone service, according to the blog: "This means that Community Edition users now have access to our world-class team of support engineers."
