MongoDB

You can download and install free Community version of MongoDB from the official MongoDB download center.

After installation, make sure MongoDB service is running and accepting connections on default localhost:27017 (change connection parameters in the ./backend/api/.env file if you run on different location/port)

To manage database, you can use free MongoDB Compass Community Edition available or some other GUI for MongoDB, e.g. Studio 3T (https://studio3t.com)

For production, we recommend MongoDB Atlas.
It is also possible to use AWS DocumentDB or Azure Cosmos DB

Note: we currently integrating Mongo Memory Server which will allow to test Platform without need to install MongoDB locally.
