DigitalOcean has announced the release of scalable storage for its Managed MongoDB service, allowing developers to add additional storage to their MongoDB clusters at cost-effective prices with minimal friction. This feature enables developers to minimize downtime, grow their applications as data needs change, and make their applications more flexible. Scalable storage provides independent scaling, cost efficiency, ease of use, granular billing, automatic provisioning, and expanded storage capacity for data-intensive applications built on MongoDB. The new feature is available with pricing starting at $0.20 per GiB per month, up to a maximum of 16 TiB of storage per database instance, with security features such as data encryption at rest and in transit.
