Frequently Asked Questions
Is MongoDB open source? I thought that they changed their license?
For code that Percona develops to work with MongoDB, like in our work with Percona Backup for MongoDB, we remain committed to using true open source licenses.
What does Percona add to the vanilla MongoDB Community Edition?
Percona adds features like LDAP authentication and authorization, auditing, log redaction, data-at-rest encryption, and more. Please see our feature comparison for more details.
Why should I use Percona Distribution for MongoDB and other Percona software?
Percona provides the software and services you need to deploy MongoDB without the lock-in that usually occurs with proprietary software vendors. In our builds, we add features and tools that provide benefits well beyond what’s provided in the freely available MongoDB Community Edition, while maintaining compatibility. You get the benefits of MongoDB without the drawbacks of proprietary licensing and lock-in, and you get the benefit of commercial support and services from Percona if you need us.
What is the support cycle for MongoDB software from Percona?
Our general policy is that we try to match our end-of-life dates for platforms to those of the upstream vendor. For software Percona produces based on upstream software, we match the upstream software’s end-of-life dates.
In the same manner, as a platform or piece of software becomes outdated or is declared “end of life (EOL),” we move our engineering efforts to developing the next major release or addressing the next important piece of open source software. EOL software gets shifted back to Operational Support, and finally (as it is largely phased out in the broader ecosystem), to Community Support.

I want to migrate from MongoDB Enterprise/Community to Percona software for MongoDB. How do I do it?
Due to the full compatibility with vanilla MongoDB, you can simply replace it by installing Percona Server for MongoDB. If you want assistance with migration and guarding against unexpected downtime and unplanned data loss, contact our Percona Experts.
Is Percona Server for MongoDB fully compatible with MongoDB Community Edition?
Percona Server for MongoDB is built upon MongoDB Community Edition. Therefore, Percona Server for MongoDB is a fully compatible source-available replacement for MongoDB Community, which is also fully compatible with your current infrastructure.
