- Collection oriented storage: easy storage of object/JSON -style data
- Dynamic queries
- Full index support, including on inner objects and embedded arrays
- Query profiling
- Replication and fail-over support
- Efficient storage of binary data including large objects (e.g. photos and videos)
- Auto-sharding for cloud-level scalability (currently in early alpha)
