Briefly

This initiative underscores their increasing commitment to open-source technologies, as users can start out using the open-source FerretDB solution. The platform is designed to manage semi-structured data effectively while maintaining no commercial licensing fees. Microsoft has developed specific PostgreSQL extensions to enhance this functionality, thereby creating an end-to-end document database experience that aligns with modern development needs.
