Section 2: Connecting to MongoDB Atlas

Step 6: Connect to Your MongoDB Atlas Cluster.In the database section click on cluster-> connect-> you will get 5 options for connect with cluster-> 1. Drivers 2.Compass 3. Shell 4.MongoDb for VS code 5.Atlas SQL. For now, we are going with MongoDB for VS code to connect with the MongoDB cluster with VS Code

There are 4 more options for connecting with cluster using :

1. Drivers
2. Compass
3. Shell
4. MongoDb for VS code
5. Atlas SQL

you can also use other options according to your need for your application.

The MongoDB Atlas provides the Application deployment solution by MongoDB hosting on AWS. MongoDB Atlas handles operational tasks such as backups, updates, and security configurations.

There are many ways to connect MongoDB with AWS depending on specific use cases and requirements:

• MongoDB Atlas (Fully managed by MongoDB and runs on AWS infrastructure): High availability, scalability, and security are all provided, and it makes database maintenance jobs simpler.
• EC2 instance hosted MongoDB (Manually set up MongoDB on AWS EC2 instance): MongoDB was manually installed on AWS EC2 instances. Set security groups up to let incoming traffic to SSH (port 22) and MongoDB (default port 27017) for secure access. SSH can be used to access your EC2 instance and communicate with MongoDB. gives you full control over your MongoDB deployment.

As we have discussed only two ways but there are many ways, now we are going to see how to connect MongoDB with AWS using ATLAS in detail. However, the fully managed MongoDB Atlas database service for modern applications ensures availability, scalability, and security compliance. Developers and DevOps professionals choose the best deployment solution based on application architecture, scalability needs, security requirements, and operational preferences. With the MongoDB cloud platform, you can expand your data with features like full-text search, mobile sync, and automated data tiering.

For contemporary applications, however, the fully managed MongoDB Atlas database service ensures availability, scalability, and security compliance. Depending on the application architecture, scalability needs, security requirements, and operational preferences, developers and DevOps experts select the best deployment solution. You can increase the amount of data in your database by utilizing MongoDB’s cloud platform’s full-text search, mobile sync, and automated data tiering features.
