The ObjectRocket Database-as-a-Service team proudly announced in 2020 Q4 that we’ve expanded support for our hosted MongoDB® offering into AWS® and GCP® clouds.

A few of our cloud engineers were chatting about making a Dynamic DNS on Amazon Web Services® (AWS) for some personal projects. As we got to talking, I realized that although Lambda® was the go-to technology, it’s not needed.
