This tutorial guides you through the entire process of setting up a FREE MongoDB Atlas account, creating your first database cluster, and getting the connection string (URI) you need to connect your application.

What you will learn:

How to Sign Up: Go to the MongoDB Atlas website and create a free account.

Create a Project: How to create a new project to hold your databases.

Deploy a Free Cluster (M0): We'll walk through the "Build a Database" wizard, selecting the M0 (Free) shared tier, a cloud provider (like AWS, GCP, or Azure), and a region.

Create a Database User: How to create the essential username and password your application will use to log in. (e.g., myUser / myPassword123).

Configure Network Access: How to add your current IP address (or "0.0.0.0/0" for access from anywhere, though less secure) to the IP Access List so you can connect.

Get the Connection String: How to click "Connect," select "Drivers," and copy the mongodb+srv:// connection string (URI) for your application.

Finalize the String: We'll show you where to replace password with the database user's password you just created.
