Getting Started with MongoDB Atlas, the Developer Data Platform

In this unit, you learned that MongoDB Atlas is a developer data platform that stores your data in Atlas clusters, a global, multi-cloud database service. You also learned that the developer data platform has many features that enable you to build a wide variety of applications.

You created a free Atlas account and deployed a free tier Atlas cluster by doing the following:

• Chose a shared cluster.

• Chose a major cloud provider to host your cluster.

• Used the region recommended by MongoDB as the location of database deployment.

• Prepared to connect to your cluster by adding a database user and password and an IP address to the IP Access list

Finally, you successfully loaded sample data into your cluster and found a document in a collection by using Data Explorer.
