About MongoLab

MongoLab is a fully‐managed cloud database service featuring highly‐available MongoDBdatabases, automated backups, web‐based tools, 24/7 monitoring, and expert support.Developers absolutely love us because our Database‐as‐a‐Service (DBaaS) allows them to focus their attention on product development instead of operations.

MongoLab is one of the fastest‐growing companies in the cloud infrastructure space. We're headquartered in the Mission/Potrero area of San Francisco and are well‐funded by premier venture and angel investors including Foundry Group, Baseline Ventures, Upfront Ventures, Freestyle Capital and David Cohen of TechStars.
