For the bootcamp, we use MongoDB, a NoSQL database. This type of database is beneficial for prototype applications because it is "schemaless" or allows for any type of bson blob. With larger dataset sizes, performance may suffer though. Other SQL or columnar database approaches are preferable once a specific application and use case is developed.
While we could run MongoDB on our web server, or create a separate Google Cloud Platform Virtual Machine, it is fastest and easiest to use a hosted instance of MongoDB. We use MongoDB Atlas for the bootcamp. The database service is free for the first cluster and up to 500MB of storage.
