Almost any other standard database would be a better choice: Postgres, MySQL, even Redis.

Most companies avoid using MongoDb and lack the staff needed to administer it properly. It’s also hard to find a managed solution for Mongo in most cloud providers.

But you don’t need any cloud provider other than AWS, so why worry about that?

MongoDB provides MongoDB Atlas, our own managed service. which is supported on every cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP).

Oh, Mongo is a major turnoff. The only sensible data store to support in 2022 and beyond is Postgres, maybe SQLite IMO.

SQLite/filesystem and etcd or some kind of distributed store.

The SQLite and fs option would get you usage in Homelabs.

That's a heavy order for the SOC 2, especially if you're just starting out as a company.

Imho, it's more important that the code base is audited and the company is transparent.

Plain-text (encrypted) files and/or sqlite would be a great complement to whatever else.
