Scaleway Managed MongoDB review
Flexible MongoDB sizing with one-node and three-node deployments, snapshots, and private networking.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
Scaleway Managed MongoDB provides fully managed MongoDB document database instances through the Scaleway console and API. It suits developers and teams that want their cloud provider to manage MongoDB infrastructure while they choose compute, storage, node count, and deployment options. The service supports one-node instances and three-node replica sets, with regional deployment options and Private Network connectivity.
Published plans show hourly pricing across eight configurations. MGDB-PLAY2-NANO costs €0.1077 per hour for one node with 2 vCPU and 4 GB RAM, or €0.1877 per hour for three nodes. Production-optimized MGDB-PRO2 plans range from €0.1751 per hour for PRO2-XXS with one node to €1.3824 per hour for PRO2-S with three nodes. The configurations scale from 2 to 8 vCPU and from 8 to 32 GB RAM on the production-optimized plans. Storage and backups are priced separately, so total cost depends on the selected infrastructure and retention needs. A 30-day trial is available, but there is no free plan.
The strongest fit is for teams that value explicit sizing choices and operational controls over automated elasticity. Configurable 5k or 15k IOPS storage, volumes up to 15 TB, engine version upgrades, snapshot-based restoration, and manual or automated snapshots cover core database administration tasks. The default snapshot retention period is 365 days, with configurable automated retention also available. However, point-in-time restore is not provided, and teams requiring autoscaling should compare alternatives. Choose Scaleway Managed MongoDB for flexible one-node or replica-set deployments with private networking; choose another service when continuous recovery features are central to the workload.
