MongoDB with SQL Server as the Factory default

Official documentation (opens in a new tab)

Overview

MongoDB supports document-oriented data where schemas evolve quickly—common in integrations, analytics feeds, and client systems alongside our SQL-first platform templates.

Relational SQL Server on Azure remains the default for Factory and SaaS templates—paired with NHibernate or EF Core, migrations in CI, and backup policies that match enterprise SLAs.

Polyglot and client-mandated stores are supported with clear boundaries: integration schemas, migration tooling, and capacity planning so operational data never becomes an undocumented side channel.

Need search, cache, or warehouse tiers alongside transactional SQL? We design data paths that stay observable, recoverable, and aligned with your Azure landing zone.

Why we use it:

  • Atlas or self-hosted options
  • Driver support in .NET integrations
  • Not the default Factory relational store
  • Use when client or product data is document-native
  • Migration and rollback discipline in Azure Pipelines
  • Encryption, redundancy, and residency matched to SLA
  • Clear ownership between platform SQL and integration stores
