# MongoDB Setup

We use MongoDB across all of our plugins to ensure maximum performance, scalability, and data reliability. By implementing MongoDB as our primary database system, we are able to provide faster data access, better resource management, and improved stability, even in large-scale server environments.

Below, you will find a detailed guide outlining the different methods available to install and properly configure MongoDB for use with our plugins. These instructions are designed to help you set up your database correctly, whether you are running it locally, on a dedicated server, or through a hosting provider.
