 If you are using this for your own development, you should either put in place a [local binary cache](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Binary_Cache) to match your flake, or be aware that the first time you spin up the service it could possibly take a long time to build.

You can also build the binary from scratch using [mongodb](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/924e8aa12419c6ac57690ed47c1d9af580c818a2/pkgs/servers/nosql/mongodb/mongodb.nix) package:

+```nix
+# Inside `process-compose.<name>`
+{
+  services.mongodb."m1" = {
+    enable = true;
+    package = pkgs.mongodb;
+  };
+}
