Since the post title was changed from dropping MongoDB support to MongoDB compatibility delayed on v4 the existing links on Strapi’s main readme page on Github doesn’t work anymore.
I also think that the current title is a bit confusing, the previous one was correct because anyone who reads this article can only understand the following:
- on the first day of v4 there will be no MongoDB support from anyone
- the relationship with MongoDB and Mongoose is created, there is hope that they will make maybe even 2 connectors, but Strapi did not assume any responsibility starting with v4, it could just as well happen that in the end no connector will be made
- if a MongoDB connector will be made it is not only possible but also very likely that the migration of data from v3 to v4 will not be possible! I say this because this has not been assumed by anyone either, and data migration can be an even harder process than a new connector.
So, the current title sounds like a statement, a statement I haven’t seen anywhere! If it’s a statement, then maybe Strapi should publish a roadmap about MongoDB support.
