Creating a MongoDB database

Tip

For simplicity and compatibility, we recommend using mLab with the Free plan. If you intend to have a lot of traffic you can also setup a dedicated database

1. Head over to mLab and create an account

Make sure to verify your email, if you don't then it won't allow you to create a database

1. Click on Create new in the upper right corner

2. Select Sandbox and then click Continue

   New deployment

   

3. Select your preferred region and click Continue

4. Enter injectify as the database name, click Continue and then Submit order

5. Click on your new database and select Users and then Add database user

   Add database user
