MongoDB Atlas Realm is a fully-managed serverless platform that allows developers to build modern applications quickly and easily. It provides a suite of tools and services that make it easy to build and deploy applications, without the need for managing servers or infrastructure. In this blog post, we’ll cover the basics of how to use MongoDB Atlas Realm.
Getting started with MongoDB Atlas Realm
To get started with MongoDB Atlas Realm, you first need to sign up for an account on MongoDB Atlas. Once you have an account, you can create a new project and enable Realm. This will allow you to create a Realm application and start building your application.
Creating a Realm application
To create a Realm application, you can go to the Realm tab in your MongoDB Atlas project and click “Create a New App”. This will open a wizard that will guide you through the process of setting up your Realm application. You can choose the programming language and framework you want to use, and select the services you want to use with your application.
Once you’ve created your application, you can use the Realm UI to manage your application’s data, functions, and triggers. You can also use the Realm CLI to manage your application from the command line.
Working with data in MongoDB Atlas Realm
MongoDB Atlas Realm provides a number of data services that allow you to work with data in your application. These services include:
- MongoDB Atlas data access: You can use MongoDB Atlas to store and manage your application’s data. You can use the MongoDB Query Language (MQL) to query and update data in your database.
- MongoDB Realm Sync: You can use Realm Sync to synchronize data between devices and the cloud. This makes it easy to build real-time and offline applications.
- MongoDB Realm Functions: You can use Realm Functions to run server-side logic for your application. This makes it easy to build complex logic that can be triggered from client-side code.
- MongoDB Realm Triggers: You can use Realm Triggers to perform actions based on changes to your data. This makes it easy to build event-driven applications.
Deploying your MongoDB Atlas Realm application
Once you’ve built your application, you can deploy it to production using MongoDB Atlas. MongoDB Atlas provides a number of deployment options, including dedicated clusters and shared clusters. You can choose the option that best fits your needs and budget.
To deploy your application, you can use the Realm UI to create a deployment. You can also use the Realm CLI to deploy your application from the command line.
Conclusion
MongoDB Atlas Realm is a powerful platform for building modern applications. With its suite of tools and services, developers can build applications quickly and easily. By following the steps outlined in this blog post, you can get started with MongoDB Atlas Realm and start building your own applications.
