MongoDB Setup

  • Create a free account on MongoDB Atlas on cloud.mongodb.com Click on “Try Free”at the top right if you do not have an account or “Sign In” if you already have a login.

  • Once on the MongoDB Atlas Homepage, select “Build a Cluster”

  • Create New Cluster by selecting Google Cloud Platform as a “Cloud Provider” and leave all other settings as-is and click "Create Cluster" on the bottom right to deploy your M0 (free) cluster

  • While this spins up, lets click on the “Database Access” submenu, under “Security” on the left menu.

  • Click the “Add New User” button on top right

  • Enter a user name. For our demo, let’s enter mdbadmin and enter a secure password. Record your user name and password in a safe location for reference later. Under “User Privileges”, select “Atlas admin” and click on the “Add User button to complete this section.

  • Lets click on the “Network Access” submenu, under “Security” on the left menu. Click on “Add IP Address”.

  • Select “Allow Access from Anywhere” for the purpose of this demo and click on “Confirm”.

Note: When actually putting something into production, you will want to narrow the scope of where your database can be accessed and specify a specific IP address/CIDR block.

  • Go to “Clusters” submenu, under “Atlas” on the left menu.

  • Click on the "Collections" button and create a database called gcpdemo with a collection called democol

  • Go to “Clusters” submenu, under “Atlas” on the left menu.

  • Click on “Connect” button. A window will open. Select “Connect Your Application.” Choose Python and copy the connection string they give you. We will need this later.
