Want to go totally serverless in your application development? I’m talking serverless database and serverless application for maximum scalability.
In this tutorial, Nic Raboy demonstrates how to launch a serverless database instance of MongoDB, create a serverless function with JavaScript, and make everything accessible with HTTPS endpoints.

[@DeffQ]

Nice and clear tutorial. Exactly what I was searching for. Thanks!

[@MongoDB]

You're welcome!

[@tushardeshmukh7740]

Nicely explained. more and more developer will use Mongodb.

[@Pareshbpatel]

An excellent introduction to building a Serverless REST API with MongoDB Atlas. Thanks, Nic {2022-11-15}

[@mongodb_nraboy]

No problem!

[@ElTebe]

Its freakin awesome, thanks!

[@joeloush6759]

Thanks for this video it really helps me

[@boutiflet]

Oh my ! It's perfect for my stupid project! 😍

[@fabiotrevezane]

Parabens primeiro conteudo que me ajudou realmente utilizar a api do mongo db

[@unrealdoc8191]

Gr8 guide, easy to understand. How to get a specific person from a url like "...person/1" ? What would the route and function look like ?

[@FarshadMahmoudifar]

thank you for the video. where can I find the other endpoints and functions like put for update and get one object?

[@keremoz9531]

Thanks a lot for the vid! i joined a project which this serverless structure is used. İs there a way to run and test is locally? Or do i have to deploy in every change and test it with postman ?

[@jake221]

I am new to all of this, I wanted to ask how do you update or delete a specific item in the collection? Thanks

[@NoelHwande]

Thanks very much Nic. I’ve gone serverless with App Services on my current project and have been testing the limits of what I can do. So far, so good. One thing that I’m trying to do now is to use a function to upload media to an AWS S3 bucket. I know there was third party integrations like that back when it was Stitch but they are no longer available. Is there plans to bring that back or is there a way to achieve this with a single function?

[@AshwinChandarR]

have you tried for uploading using pre-signed URL?

[@MA-br6jf]

Thxxx :)

[@timmanning9]

Does this Mongo UI have a place to use Docker Image for deployment?

[@mykalimba]

As a beginner/hobbyist web developer, I find the pay-as-you-go benefit that serverless offers to be a strong argument to switch from running dedicated Atlas clusters. BUT... I -- and many other developers, I'm sure -- don't want to have to manually enter code into a web page portal. That's a nonstarter. Is there some sort of API + process that allows me to deploy my serverless code from git?

[@mongodb_nraboy]

Yes, you can use the CLI and make it part of your pipeline. I only did the web version to get everyone started :-)

[@wil9861]

What about caching , configuring domain names e.t.c Are there examples of projects using Atlas serverless, configuring environments/ stages , IaC e.t.c

[@poornatejakonatham03]

Are these endpoints accessible to any HTTP client? For my next.js app, browser always throws CORS error even though my domain is whitelisted under App Settings. Postman works fine. What's the purpose of these endpoints?

[@brokercl]

cant access from flutter to endpoints, and I dont know why, the web is launch from url_launcher packaged

[@miguelcosta4450]

I need to create a endpoint or it's not necessary because we have a default endpoint?

[@joeloush6759]

Does anyone know how can I add some images via Postman?

[@joeloush6759]

Does anyone know how to do a delete or a put/edit function?

[@apaajaapaaja473]

how to find by id? please answer my question

[@jugalkumarseth7675]

Does autocomplete and search feature also available on serverless?

[@MongoDB]

Hi there! Currently Atlas Search is not available on Serverless instances so the autocomplete feature is also unavailable. You can view all limitations of Serverless instances in our docs: www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/reference/serverless-instance-limitations/

[@mraravind1111]

How to optimise fetch to loop and get 6mb data when the data exceeds the 6mb limit?

[@MongoDB]

👋 Hi Aravind! Can you please provide more information on your question?

[@justinlevine6690]

I'm currently experimenting with the MongoDB App Services and as these HTTPS endpoints/serverless functions are a paid service. How can someone insulate themselves from an influx of traffic that is excessive, perhaps nefarious? Any insulation from DDoS attacks? Any way to set rate limiting for authenticated users?

[@MongoDB]

Hi Justin! Thanks for reaching out. Atlas App Services has a default rate limit of 5k ops/s. Users can set an alert on the request rate in their Atlas alerts if they want notification of any thresholds. Within AWS, we have standard DDoS protection enabled. App Services also support IP Access Lists and is looking into more rate limiting/throttling features in the future.

[@justinlevine6690]

@@MongoDB Awesome! Thanks for the info. It helps a lot.

[@MongoDB]

Happy to help! 💚

[@user-nr7ot6gn7q]

REST API with MongoDB Atlas CURD Operations please, in this tutorial (Get- Create), (Put- Update), (Post-Read), (Delete)........ how to create HTTPS Endpoints this one (PUT, Patch, delete)

[@heyoung548]

Where is the authorization video?

[@MongoDB]

Hi there! Can you please explain your request?

[@amdphreak]

This tutorial is out of date. There is no such thing as the Atlas tab

[@MongoDB]

Thanks for sharing the feedback, Ryan!
