Still Managing MongoDB by Hand? Time to Upgrade.
ClusterControl is the MongoDB management platform DevOps teams actually want. Built for engineers. Trusted by enterprises. Made for your infrastructure.
Employing ClusterControl as our database management layer gives us confidence in the performance and availability of our open-source databases because of how it simplifies key operations such as failover, backups, monitoring, and alerting in our complex setup.
Supported MongoDB Configurations
Supported Distributions
ClusterControl supports both community and proprietary MongoDB binaries:
- MongoDB Community and Enterprise Server
- Percona Server for MongoDB
Cluster types
Replica Set: A MongoDB high‑availability model where a primary replicates data to secondaries with automatic failover. ClusterControl automates deployment, monitoring, failover, backups, scaling, and alerts.
Sharded Cluster: Horizontally scales MongoDB by partitioning data across multiple replica sets (shards) with config servers and mongos routing. ClusterControl streamlines deployment, configuration, monitoring, and management.

We have MongoDB and Percona Server for MongoDB installations with different versions. Will I have to change any binaries or touch any existing environment before using ClusterControl?
Not at all. We are prepared for both distributions and versions, as seen here.
I’m using MongoDB, MySQL/MariaDB, and PostgreSQL. Can they all be managed and brought under control with ClusterControl?
Absolutely, yes. Then just consolidate and automate all your security and B’n’R strategies across all technologies.
I want to use my cloud MongoDB backups for on-premise restores. Is that possible?
Yes, we focus on hybrid deployments for on-premise and cloud deployments.
