    FerretDB is an open-source proxy that serves as a substitute for MongoDB, offering compatibility with MongoDB drivers and tools.

This solution addresses the challenge of MongoDB's shifting licensing, making it suitable for open-source and early-stage commercial projects. FerretDB is a drop-in replacement for MongoDB in many cases and continually adds features to enhance compatibility and performance. Quickstart options include running FerretDB with PostgreSQL or SQLite backends using Docker. The project is actively seeking contributors and provides various resources for users and developers.
