Get started with MongoDB Atlas

MongoDB Atlas is a data platform, designed for developers, which integrates a multi-cloud database with various data services. It simplifies the process of database deployment and management while facilitating the development of modern data-driven applications.

The MongoDB Atlas registration is completely free and doesn't require a credit card. Follow the link below and create your account:

Sign up for MongoDB Atlas

From the Atlas UI page, find the button with the three dots on the right side of your cluster and click on it. Then click on the "Load Sample Dataset" option.

This will load approximately 300 Mb of data into your cluster. It may take a few minutes to complete.

Security quickstart

Important

By default your Atlas deployment is completely locked down. To access it, you need to create access credentials and configure network access. The access is under the Security menu group.
