+# Managed MongoDB
+
+:::info
+This feature was introduced in Defang v1.2.0 released on June 3, 2025.
+:::
+
+Managed MongoDB is a service that allows you to store and retrieve large amounts of data in a document-oriented format. MongoDB is ideal for storing unstructured data like JSON documents, making it a popular choice for modern applications.
+

+
+## How to use Managed MongoDB
+
+To use managed MongoDB, in your `compose.yaml` file, use the `x-defang-mongodb` extension to define your MongoDB service. Adding the extension will tell Defang to provision a managed instance, rather than running MongoDB as a container.
+
+### Required Configuration
+
+When using managed MongoDB, you **must** set a username and password for the database. By default, these are read from the `MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME` and `MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD` config variables, conform [the official MongoDB container image](https://hub.docker.com/_/mongo). These can be set using the `defang config set MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME` and `defang config set MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD` commands. If you do not provide these values, the deployment will fail.
+
+### Example
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  app:
+    # [...]
+    environment:
+      MONGO_URI: mongodb://$MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME:$MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD@db:27017/
+    depends_on:
+      - db
+
+  db:
+    image: mongo:5
+    x-defang-mongodb: true
+```
+
+:::warning[Version]
+AWS DocumentDB is compatible with MongoDB 3.6, 4.0, and 5.0. The `mongo:5` image is compatible with DocumentDB 5.0, so we recommend using this version for your MongoDB service. Deployment will fail for versions higher than 5.
