MongoDB as a backend database for PowerSync Cloud (Alpha)

In September, we introduced support for MongoDB as a backend database, allowing customers using Atlas Device Sync to leverage PowerSync as the sync engine between MongoDB on the backend and a local database on client devices. Initially, this was available for testing in a Docker environment.

Starting today, this functionality is also available to PowerSync Cloud users, providing a hosted deployment option for those who prefer a managed setup.
