The MongoHQ API is making great strides moving in this direction and as was mentioned in another post, the team is dog-fooding it so much that they are building the next version of the MongoHQ web app on top of it.
The added benefit that we see is that we are experts in managing, optimizing and scaling all of the backside data structure for you, while offering solid analytics, performance metrics and visual tools that allow you significant control over your data as well as critical insight into what is happening.
Really excited about this type of development going forward and good to see other offerings in the works!

- fduran 15y agoHello Jason, this is unrelated to the thread but since I have one of the MongoHQ founders here let me abuse a bit and ask: I'm considering using mongo in the cloud but the problem I see is that there's no way to create a secure (encrypted) connection. Mongo doesn't support SSL and I can't create an SSH tunnel like against a server I control. I don't want my db data in the clear on Internet and I may not want to use AWS so that we're on the same 'network'. I cannot be the first with this issue, is someone looking into adding encrypted connection to mongo? (I just see in mongo's site an open ticket about this) thanks!
- benwyrosdick 15y agoHey I'm Ben, the other founder of MongoHQ. Encryption is a common request for mongo and you can actually compile it with ssl support (scons --ssl), but it just isn't in the build by default. Since most of the drivers support ssl already we leverage that and do offer encrypted mongo in a beta. If you would like to use an encrypted version of mongo in the cloud then shoot us an email to support@mongohq.com
- fduran 15y agothanks for the answer, that's great news!
