MongoDB is a source-available cross-platform document-oriented database program for high-volume storage. Classified as a NoSQL database program, MongoDB uses JSON-like documents with optional schemas.
The DigitalOcean API
You can use the API to manage database clusters, database pools, replicas, and users.
The DigitalOcean Command Line Client, doctl
doctl is the command-line interface for the DigitalOcean API. It supports most of the same actions available in the API and DigitalOcean Control Panel.
doctl supports managing database clusters, database pools, replicas, and users, and more from the command line. See the doctl documentation or use doctl databases --help for more information.
