EloqDoc

A MongoDB API compatible , high-performance, elastic, distributed document database.

Overview

EloqDoc is a high-performance, distributed transactional document database with MongoDB API compatibility. Its breakthrough architecture, powered by Data Substrate, redefines the balance between cost, scalability, and performance for real-world document workloads.

Unlike MongoDB, which relies on three replica-set nodes for durability, EloqDoc treats cloud object storage as a first-class citizen. Durable, cross–availability zone (AZ) object storage serves as the persistent foundation, while local NVMe caching accelerates reads. Recent updates are written to a decoupled redo log component. This architecture minimizes write latency while maintaining strong consistency and durability.

The result is a cloud-native, storage-centric deployment model: EloqDoc typically runs a single compute replica with storage-level high availability, orchestrated by Kubernetes for automatic failover. This approach cuts infrastructure costs, avoids redundant CPU and memory overhead, and delivers higher throughput across mixed read/write workloads.

👉 Use Cases: web applications, document stores, content platforms—anywhere you need MongoDB API compatibility and expect distributed performance and elasticity.
