Guide to setting up MongoDB development environment

About
This guide will walk you through setting up a MongoDB development environment including the
use of Atlas (cloud based database as a service or DBAS for Mongo), Compass (GUI application
for exploring your MongoDB data and running queries), C# Drivers and will show you basic CRUD
operations in C#.

Atlas
• Follow this guide to getting started with Atlas:

o Follow guide through “Creating a cluster user” section
o You do not need to complete “Generating a database connection string” section
and after yet (you will come back to do that later
• Note: make sure the user you create has read/write access to your cluster

anywhere:
Compass

• Create a new database and users collection in Compass:
C# Driver

• IMPORTANT NOTE: be careful with your database connection string. Best practice is to
store this in a configuration file that is not committed to your repo. If your connection
string is committed to a public repository, other users will have direct access to your
database.
