Setting up Atlas
MongoDB Atlas—a cloud database service provided by MongoDB—is one of the strongest selling points of MongoDB.
MongoDB Atlas is a fully managed database service, which means that MongoDB handles the infrastructure management, database setup, configuration, and maintenance tasks for you. This allows you to focus on developing your applications instead of managing the underlying infrastructure.
Note
The processes of signing up and setting up a MongoDB Atlas instance are well documented at https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/getting-started/.
There are two ways in which you can set up your Atlas account:
- Atlas UI (website)
- Atlas CLI (command line)
The Atlas CLI provides a dedicated CLI for MongoDB Atlas, allowing you to manage your Atlas database deployments and Atlas Search directly from your terminal. In this book, you will see how to do it from the UI.
