Setting Up MongoDB

To use MongoDB in your application, you need a running database.

The easiest way to get started is by using MongoDB Atlas. It is a cloud service that hosts your database, so you do not need to install anything locally.

You create an account, set up a cluster, and create a database. After that, you will get a connection string that allows your application to connect to MongoDB.

MongoDB Atlas is recommended because it is simple to set up and works the same way as real production environments.
