MongoDB Atlas
Spring Concepts / MongoDB Atlas
Atlas hosts and manages MongoDB deployments.
Understand the idea
Your Atlas website account manages the deployment. A separate database user authenticates application connections. The application also needs a permitted network origin and the actual cluster URI. The Java backend connects to Atlas; the React browser never receives database credentials.
A concrete example
mongodb+srv://USER:PASSWORD@CLUSTER.mongodb.net/In the application
MONGODB_URI supplies the backend connection string. application.properties chooses the lab database.
A working website login is not proof that the database username, password, or IP rule is correct.
