Re:MongoHQ (YC S11) Raises $6 Million For Database As Servic... by ericcholis on Thursday October 18, 2012 @01:10PM (#4669720)
I believe that the same could be said for MongoLab, a similar service.

I also believe that both services need to be certified by 10gen before rolling out new releases. Also, paying customers at a certain level have access to 10gen for support if the provider can't address the issue.

Long story short, both these companies have a good relationship with 10gen in the interest of growing the space.

MongoLab: yep, we have a similar (I'd imagine) license to the trademark.

10gen: they are awesome to work with as they know they are in for the long game - building a full ecosystem.

Congrats to the HQ team! Always good to see further evidence that the DBaaS market is generating healthy capital interest. Game on!
