Digital Ocean: The Sudo Show is sponsored by our friends over at Digital Ocean. DigitalOcean recently announced their new Managed MongoDB service, which is a fully managed, database as a service.

With Managed MongoDB, you can focus more on building scalable high performance apps, and less on maintaining the database. DigitalOcean built this service in partnership with MongoDB Inc. and together they have ensured that you will get access to all the latest releases of the Mongo database as they become available.

As a listener of the Sudo Show podcast and a member of the DLN Community you can get started for FREE! Actually, better than free because DigitalOcean is giving you a $100 Credit when you go to https://do.co/dln-mongo. Need more than just a database? You can use your $100 credit to try out all the amazing services Digital Ocean has to offer.

Again, go to https://do.co/dln-mongo to get started with your $100 Free Credit on DigitalOcean’s new Managed MongoDB and thank you to Digital Ocean for sponsoring the Sudo Show and the entire Destination Linux Network!
