What would you like to be added

I would love to have a MongoDB database connector.

Why this is needed

All our other services use MongoDB and I would love to keep everything unified in one database system.

Failing that, is it possible to provide a pluggable webhook that we can have and then enter into our own database?

Hey @hongkongkiwi, thanks for opening an issue / feature-request! Unfortunately, I don't think we'll have time in the very near term to work on this, however we would welcome a contribution if you (or anyone else reading this) were so inclined.

The interface to the storage backend is very simple (https://github.com/smallstep/nosql/blob/master/database/database.go#L79-L103). We've got implementations for 2 databases in that same repo (badger and mysql).

I'm not sure how a pluggable webhook would work here. I assume that's the function that the interface is serving, but I might be misunderstanding your suggestion.

this would be a good feature! mongodb is much more common than mysql and more friendly in enterprise use cases

feat: adds a MongoDB connector
d66f560 
This commit adds a MongoDB connector.

A couple of things to note:
- To enable transactions the database must a replica set,
I made the connection fail if the condition was not met.

MongoDB is a document database, thus concepts translate as:
bucket/table = collection
key = document
value = document value

Note: mongo will automatically create a collection
if a operation is attempted on one that does not exist.
For example: if you delete a table, then call list to
check for the contents of the table it will be recreated.
