— AI-Native Data Platform · 2026

One data platform.
Unlimited AI potential.

A document database, vector search, and stream processing — unified behind one query language. Power the next generation of AI applications without stitching together half a dozen services.

// similar to the user's query.

Atlas Database

Multi-cloud document DB

The same database across AWS, GCP, and Azure — with cross-cloud replication built in.

Atlas Vector Search

Vector queries, native

Store embeddings next to your documents. Query them with the same aggregation pipeline.

Atlas Stream

Streaming for documents

Kafka-compatible streams that land in your collections — without the cross-system glue.

Customize your deployment

Three ways to run MongoLeaf.

Cloud-managed, self-hosted, or air-gapped on-prem — every deployment runs the same query language and the same SDKs.

● Most popular

Atlas (Cloud)

Fully managed across AWS, GCP, and Azure. Autoscaling, point-in-time recovery, and queryable encryption — without the ops team.

  • Multi-cloud, multi-region
  • Autoscaling storage + compute
  • Vector + stream built in
Open source

Community Edition

The source-available core. Run MongoLeaf on your own hardware, in your own VPC, with the developer tools we use ourselves.

  • Document model + replication
  • Compass GUI + mongosh
  • Community forum support
Enterprise

Enterprise Advanced

Air-gapped, FIPS-compliant, and certified for the most demanding workloads. Run anywhere, including disconnected environments.

  • Air-gapped deployments
  • LDAP / Kerberos / FIPS 140-2
  • 24×7 enterprise support
Loved by builders

A database the way you think.

Documents that map to objects. Indexes that learn your queries. SDKs in every language you care about. MongoLeaf is the database engineers actually want to write against.

Document model

Objects in your code map 1:1 to documents in the database. No ORM, no join hell, no impedance mismatch.

Vector search

Semantic search lives inside the same aggregation pipeline as your filters. No separate vector store to operate.

Global replication

Three-node replica sets, zone-aware sharding, and read preferences that let you push reads to the closest region.

Queryable encryption

Encrypt sensitive fields client-side and still run equality and range queries on the encrypted ciphertext.

AI use case

Build retrieval-augmented apps without a second database.

Embeddings live next to the documents they describe. One query language. One operational footprint. One source of truth.

From embedding to answer in one aggregation.

Run vector search, then chain a $project, $lookup, and $match — all in the same pipeline. The hard part of RAG isn't the embeddings; it's keeping them in sync. MongoLeaf moves that problem into the database.

  • HNSW-indexed vector search with metadata pre-filtering
  • Auto-embedding via the LLM provider of your choice
  • Re-rank inside the pipeline — no extra round-trip
