Mongodb as backend database

Hi can I use mongodb as database? I see no option at the moment. Is there a possibility in near future? Please let me know. Many Thanks.

We don't support Mongo at the moment. We do have plans to, but we don't have a schedule for when that will be.

Paying users have had success using mongolab, but that won't work for a free account.

Why not work in free accounts?

Free accounts can only access external sites on the internet if they use HTTP or HTTPS. Because MongoDB databases have to be hosted externally (at mLab or similar) and the MongoDB protocol is non-HTTP(S), then they won't be able to connect.
