New MongoDB Cluster: Shared Hosting

👍

MongoDB Shared Hosting Highlights

MongoDB 3.4.x Version
WiredTiger Storage Engine
SSL-Enabled
3-Node Replica Set
Free Backups
Unlimited Databases
Seamless Data Scaling
Allocated RAM is 1/10th of the data size (if data is 3GB, the RAM is 300MB).
Data size is measured only for your custom databases - system databases like Oplog are not used to compute the size.
