2. What is MongoHq?
 Tool to facilitate
the running of
your own
MongoDB
 Provides 24/7
monitoring
including
automated health
checks, daily
database backups,
and automatic
database
optimization.

3.  MongoHQ is very easy to install:
 One shell command: heroku addons:add mongohq
 Visit your account on the heroku website and click the
resources tab.
 From there you can connect your already existing DB
simply by entering the URI

4. Cost
 MongoHQ provides a free version
for small databases (512 MB
storage).
 Larger databases require a
monthly fee based on the size of
the database. Each GB of data
(under 25 GB) costs $18/month

5. Pros
They also provide automated health checks and backups daily.

6. Cons
 A data breach in 2013 gave attackers access to customer
account information.
 They gained access to email address and bcrypt-hashed
passwords.
 Although this is rather unsettling, in the long run it made
MongoHQ better protected and far more secure than
before.

7. Comparison
 Similar apps such as RedisGreen offers more support and
analytic features, but is far more expensive.
 Its lowest price is 39/month for the development package.
 the next lowest price is 169/month for the “Basic” package

8.  This app makes it incredibly easy to keep track of your
database.The User interface makes everything simple,
making it faster and easier to manage your database.

9. Recommend?
 I would definitely recommend using this tool, especially in
the early stages of development.
 Its easy to use interface and relatively cheap pricing saves
its users time and money.
 Once your database starts growing you might want to
consider other options.The monthly charges get pretty
steep as the size of your database grows.
