On-Prem OSDU Reference Implementation with MongoDB support

We would like to propose the support of MongoDB as the Meta-Data Storage implementation for the OSDU On-Prem reference deployment. As a contributing member of OSDU (since late 2019), MongoDB would be happy to support this effort.

The benefits of using MongoDB in this context are:

• Native storage and query of JSON objects
• Ability to directly manipulate JSON objects at the field level
• Document model supports flexible representation of data-types, e.g. Key-value, Graph (useful for Entitlements), Tabular, Geo Spatial, Time-Series
• Document sizes support up to 16MB’s for consistent performance
• Ability to shield operational workloads from analytics queries (workload isolation)
• Flexible deployment options (on-prem, hybrid, cloud)
• Scaling from lightweight single cluster to multi-region clusters with replication
• Available as open-source (community), supported (Enterprise Advanced) and SaaS (e.g. MongoDB Atlas, available across all major cloud providers, e.g. Google, Azure, AWS)
