Hosting ASP.NET MVC 3 application using MongoDB

Question

I'd like to hear if any of you had experiences developing and hosting such an application?

What do you think about combining the two? Is there a way to host it somewhere in cloud (Azure, Amazon...)? What resources (tools, drivers, documentation) have you used for development?

Thanks! :)

Answer 1

I have a couple of applications with asp.net mvc 3 and mongodb.

For the asp.net mvc app regular windows hosting. For the mongodb i am using unix hosting (since it cost in several times lower than windows hosting).

Also you may need:

1. Official c# driver for mongodb: github
2. Official driver documentation: docs
3. Great ui tool (like management studio for sql server) for mongodb: mongovue
4. And mongodb manual ;)

That's all. Hope this help you quickly start development.

What do you think about combining the two?

Mongodb good fit for many web applications, it can be easy used with asp.net mvc 3 since exists nice driver for c# that contatins all latest features.
