As someone who is just starting out with MongoDB and web application database storage, I'm a little overwhelmed.
I've noticed that as clients continue to add data to their online dashboards on a SaaS platform, the size of the database keeps growing.
This means that hosting fees also increase significantly as the database gets larger, even if the number of clients stays the same.
For example, with mLab, 1GB of storage costs $15 per month.
Is there a way to keep the size and cost of the database steady over time while still allowing clients to access older information?
