FusionAuth with MongoDB

ryan · 2 Nov 2020, 17:49

Hi I have just been looking through the documentation and see that FusionAuth is build for sql and no mention of mongodb.

Does this mean it is impossible to set up with a mongodb server? Or does it just require some extra tweaking.

Thanks in advance.

Hiya,

FusionAuth is only supported on mysql and postgresql. People have made it work on mariadb, but I think it'd be a large effort to port it to a nosql database like mongodb. There are no plans on our side to do so.

The system uses mybatis and I don't see any support for mongo at the mybatis website: https://mybatis.org/mybatis-3/

So, I'd say it is far beyond "extra tweaking" to make FusionAuth work with mongo.
