Having gone through a few acquisitions where MongoDB was used, I would never recommend using it from a legal/compliance perspective. You either have to pay for a very expensive commercial license OR adhere to their AGPL license (which is very difficult).

Why do you need a commercial license or have to do anything special for AGPL compliance if you aren't modifying the codebase and using the binaries from Mongo's website/repo?

It looks like all of the drivers you would use to connect to it are Apache 2.0 licensed so that wouldn't be a reason.
