Oracle Autonomous JSON Database offers features not found in MongoDB Atlas
Oracle Autonomous JSON Database is a cloud document database service that makes it simple to develop JSON-centric applications. It features NoSQL-style document APIs [Oracle SODA and Oracle Database API for MongoDB], serverless scaling, high-performance ACID transactions, comprehensive security, and low pay-per-use pricing. Autonomous JSON Database automates provisioning, configuring, tuning, scaling, patching, encrypting, and repairing of databases, eliminating database management and delivering 99.95% availability.
Customers are choosing Oracle over MongoDB Atlas for several reasons:
- First, Autonomous JSON Database allows developers to rapidly build JSON-centric applications with NoSQL-style document APIs [SODA and API for MongoDB], access to SQL and stored procedures [PL/SQL], and use of low-code environments.
- Second, Autonomous JSON Database simplifies operations with machine learning-driven automation for full lifecycle management.
- Third, Autonomous JSON Database achieves rapid multi-document ACID transactions with optimized formats and a high-performance infrastructure.
- Fourth, Autonomous JSON Database is secure by design, with always-on encryption and Data Vault that provides strong data protection from both external and internal threats with comprehensive data security.
- And, finally, Autonomous JSON Database reduces customers’ total cost of ownership with built-in features and automatic scaling to meet peak workloads when needed.
1. Autonomous JSON Database allows developers to build applications faster with NoSQL style document APIs, have full SQL and PL/SQL access, and use pre-configured low-code environments
Autonomous JSON Database allows developers to rapidly build JSON-centric applications using their preferred programming language. Developers can use MongoDB tools and drivers as well as Oracle’s native SODA language drivers and REST APIs. Developers can run JSON collection commands either from MongoDB tools [such as Compass or MongoDB Shell] or Oracle tools [such as SQL Developer, JSON Workshop, SQL*Plus, and SQLcl], giving them both full SQL, PL/SQL and NoSql-style collection access to JSON data. Relational, spatial, and xml data types in addition to JSON are fully supported in Autonomous JSON Database. Additionally, application developers and line of business [LOB] developers can use the preconfigured Oracle APEX Application Express low-code application development environment to create applications faster and with less code than traditional software development approaches.
For customers moving from their MongoDB to Autonomous JSON Database, Oracle Database API for MongoDB makes the migration easy. With Oracle Database API for MongoDB, MongoDB applications continue to work on Autonomous JSON Database, often with zero or minimal coding changes other than the connection string. Developers can continue to develop applications using MongoDB's own native tools and drivers—just as they did before.
Oracle’s latest Autonomous JSON Database blows away the MongoDB Atlas service. Autonomous JSON processing 2-3 times faster than MongoDB Atlas means much less time to complete a job. Less time processing equals less money spent. In the cloud, time truly is money.Marc Staimer Founder and President of DS Consulting and Wikibon Analyst
2. Autonomous JSON Database simplifies operations with machine learning-driven automation for full lifecycle management
Oracle Autonomous JSON Database minimizes database administration overhead by automating the provisioning, configuring, securing, tuning, and scaling of JSON databases. Eliminating complex manual DBA tasks significantly reduces ongoing management and administrative costs, while developers are free to focus on building innovative, content-rich applications. Oracle Autonomous JSON Database increases application tier availability, enabling applications to be continuously available across infrastructure failures and during planned maintenance, unplanned outages, and load imbalances.
With Oracle Autonomous JSON Database service, the administrative and operational aspect of JSON-based next gen Apps is taken care of, and the result is both a better developer experience and higher developer velocity.Holger Mueller VP and Principal Analyst, Constellation
3. Autonomous JSON Database achieves higher performance on multi-document ACID transactions with optimized formats and high-performance infrastructure
Oracle Autonomous JSON Database runs up to 3.2X faster than MongoDB Atlas when using the same amount of compute infrastructure, as demonstrated in benchmark tests using the industry-standard Cloud Serving Benchmark [YCSB]. Autonomous JSON Database automatically scales to deliver high performance despite changes in data volume, query complexity, and number of concurrent users. Furthermore, Autonomous JSON Database is built upon Oracle’s long history of supporting ACID transactions, increasing data validity for multi-document transactions. As a result, the time and cost to complete transactions on single or multiple documents can be much lower on Oracle vs MongoDB.
Oracle Autonomous JSON Database is up to 3.2 times faster than MongoDB Atlas and up to 4.1 times faster than Amazon DocumentDB for workloads represented by the YCSB benchmark.David Floyer Chief Technology Officer, Wikibon
4. Autonomous JSON Database is secure by design with always-on encryption and Oracle Data Vault that provides strong data protection from external and internal threats with comprehensive data security
Autonomous JSON Database is secure by design, providing multi-layered security in the cloud and keeping data safe from both outsider and insider threats. Automatic encryption continuously protects data-at-rest and in motion, including during backups and across network connections. Automated application of security patches without downtime reduces potential windows of vulnerability, while detailed auditing and separation of management roles helps reduce internal threats. Organizations also use Oracle Data Safe to conduct ongoing security assessments, user and privilege analysis, sensitive data discovery, sensitive data protection, and activity auditing.

5. Autonomous JSON Databases reduces total cost of ownership with built-in features and automatic scaling
Autonomous JSON Database provides significant savings on total cost of ownership compared to MongoDB Atlas due to lower cost per-second billing, auto-scaling, autonomous operations, and higher performance that results in lower resource utilization. Organizations are only charged for what they actually use.
Oracle has priced Autonomous JSON Database to be competitive with MongoDB Atlas and AWS DocumentDB in a low-end [8 OCPU] configuration. As customers scale up from this configuration, however, they have more granular scaling options with Oracle, which combined with faster performance can result in cost savings in comparison to the fixed shape scaling and slower performance associated with other options.Richard Winter Winter Corporation
