MongoDB revolutionized the database world by offering developers the freedom to move fast. Its flexible, schemaless model is undeniably powerful for early-stage projects and rapid prototyping. But as companies scale, that initial speed comes at a steep price. The "move fast and break things" philosophy inevitably leads to "move slow and fix things," creating a massive hidden tax on innovation in the form of technical debt, operational risk, and slower feature development.
StatelyDB offers a better path. We provide the flexibility of a NoSQL document model with the safety and predictability of an intelligent, version-aware schema system. With StatelyDB, you do not have to choose between speed and stability. You can move fast, safely, and build an advantage that grows over time instead of a liability that bogs you down.
The core challenge with MongoDB is not that it is schemaless, it is that the schema is implicit, living inside your application code. As your team and your product grow, this leads to predictable problems:
What was once a simple data model becomes a tangled mess of different, inconsistent data shapes. Engineers become afraid to make changes, not knowing which version of an application might break, turning every feature into a high-risk archeological dig.
A simple deployment can cause a production outage because a new version of the application writes data in a shape that an older, still-running service does not understand. Every change is a potential incident waiting to happen.
Evolving your data model requires writing complex, one-off migration scripts that are difficult to test and risky to run. What should be a simple change becomes a multi-quarter engineering project.
StatelyDB's Elastic Schema™ is fundamentally different from MongoDB's optional schema validation. We do not just validate your data; we version it. When you change your data model, you create a new, compatible version of your schema. StatelyDB understands how to translate between all versions automatically, ensuring old applications continue to work seamlessly with data written by new applications, and vice versa. Breaking changes are literally impossible.
This allows you to get the best of both worlds: the development velocity of a document database, with the safety and long term sustainability of an enterprise grade schema system.

While MongoDB Atlas can be hosted on different cloud providers, your application remains locked into the MongoDB ecosystem. StatelyDB provides true multi cloud portability by abstracting the storage engine. Our unified API works seamlessly across multiple backends, including DynamoDB, MongoDB, and Firestore.
Migrate between cloud providers or storage engines without rewriting your application code.
Choose the best storage backend for each workload without sacrificing developer productivity.
Your architecture is no longer dictated by your database vendor.
