Welcome to MongoDB, John!

MongoDB Atlas is your fully managed, flexible cloud database. We handle the scale, security, and operations so you can focus on building your application fast.

WHAT'S NEXT

Choose a cluster type

Start with a free M0 as a sandbox, consider a low-cost flex tier, or jump in with a more performant Dedicated Cluster (M10+).

Create a database user and set your IP access list

When you create a database user, be sure to save its password, as you will need to add it to your connection string. Then, set your IP Access List (the firewall) by adding your app's IP address.

Get your connection string

Use the string to connect to your cluster from official MongoDB drivers and other tools.

Get started

Build faster with these resources

Streamline your workflow: Explore tools like MongoDB Compass for visual querying, the Atlas CLI for automation, or the VS Code Extension to work directly from your editor.

Learn the Atlas environment structure: How Organizations, Projects, Clusters, Databases, Collections, and Documents all fit together.

Review our SQL to MongoDB mapping chart: If you're coming from a SQL background, see how concepts translate and explore core performance topics like schema design, indexing, and aggregations.

Build intelligent applications: Explore the power of native capabilities like Atlas Search and Atlas Vector Search, along with AI integrations that connect seamlessly to popular LLMs and frameworks.

Level up and earn a badge: Check out our 60-90 minute Skills courses (like “Relational to Document Model” and “CRUD Operations”).
