Using Amazon S3 as a file system for MongoDB

Question

I decide to use MongoDB as the document management database in my application. I originally thought of using S3 as a data store, but it seems that mongoDB uses a local file system to store data. Can I use S3 as a data store in MongoDB. thanks

Answer 1

The AWS IOPS provided are ideal for MongoDB.
