portable-mongodb

Portable Mongodb is a Node.js package that embeds a fully functional MongoDB server binary within your application, eliminating the need for a separate MongoDB installation. Version 2.1.14 supports only Windows environments. It bundles MongoDB binaries (~4–7 min install) and provides a simple API to start and connect to an embedded database. Unlike mongodb-memory-server, which focuses on temporary in-memory instances, portable-mongodb offers data persistence across sessions. However, it is not maintained as actively and has limited platform support.
