- The MongoDB Management Service (MMS) provides monitoring, backup, and automation capabilities for MongoDB deployments. - MMS monitors deployments through agents that identify server configurations, collect performance metrics, and enable alerts. It provides topology views and charting of key indicators. - MMS backups MongoDB data by taking snapshots of replica sets and clusters. It stores backups for up to one year and allows point-in-time restores. Restoring a backup is simple and speeds up tasks like launching QA environments. - MMS automates backups without much overhead. It provides a consistent way to backup sharded clusters through checkpoint restores with a small restoration window.
