An apples to apples comparison of the costs associated with running various usage patterns on-premises and with AWS requires more than a simple comparison of hardware expense versus always-on utility pricing for compute and storage. Massive economies of scale and efficiency improvements allow AWS to continually lower prices.

Compression in any database is necessary as it has many advantages, like storage reduction, data transmission time, etc. Storage reduction alone results in significant cost savings, and we can save more data in the same space. By default, MongoDB provides a snappy block compression method for storage and network communication.
