TingoDB is an embedded, in-process JavaScript database for Node.js that stores data on the filesystem or in memory and is upward compatible with the MongoDB v1.4 driver API. It lets applications written against MongoDB switch to an embedded database with almost no code changes, and vice versa.

Use cases

• embed a MongoDB-like database in a Node.js app without running a server
• prototype apps locally with MongoDB-compatible API then switch to MongoDB in production
• run unit tests against an embedded database instead of a MongoDB instance
• use Mongoose-style ODM tooling with an embedded datastore
• build small self-contained apps that need document storage

When to choose

• you want MongoDB query syntax without deploying a MongoDB server
• you need an embedded, zero-admin document database for Node.js
• you want to keep the option to migrate to MongoDB later with minimal changes

When to avoid

• you need MongoDB features beyond the v1.4/2.x API level
• you need high concurrency, replication, or clustering at scale
• you need an actively maintained project with recent releases
