I am in the process of teaching myself deployment to Heroku, and trying to host a simple MERN stack application to Heroku. So far, every tutorial I've worked on (at least four so far) has told me to use the addon mLab, which is 1) being depricated and 2) currently requires payment.
I've also now tried to use object Rocket which also requires a monthly payment. Is it possible to connect my Heroku app to MongoDB without payment? Perhaps without an add-on? I'm looking to turn around and teach others how to deploy their applications to Heroku, but if there is payment involved, that would be a real issue.
Edit: just to clarify, I am aware that MongoDB atlas is free, but what I'm not aware of, is way to connect Atlas to my Heroku app in a way that is free.
Use the Atlas free tier. No addons are needed.
To connect to your MongoDB Atlas db is best achieved using Mongoose - a node module - at least that is what I am doing with my recently created React/Atlas application. Mongoose is available for Angular as well and makes working with Atlas very easy. A google search will provide many tutorials, I'm sure.

I'm new to working with back-end, but have been running into issues trying to get my iOS app to connect to my PostgreSQL DB.
I have developed an app with Swift which is a game that I want to run locally on iOS devices. I have a PostgreSQL DB set up in Google Cloud Platform but I cannot figure out how to get the Swift app to connect to my PostgreSQL DB.
I've read some about using Vapor or Perfect to run the application using Googles App Engine but I'm not sure that is what I want to do since I want the app to run locally but there are a few aspects of my app that I need a global database for.
Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction of how I need to connect my Swift application with Google Cloud's PostgreSQL?
Your question is pretty much very similar to this one.
In short, the correct answer is you shouldn't connect your client side application directly to the database. Instead, you should build a service that can connect to the database, and act as a service between your application. This helps prevent any unauthorized queries to your database and provides better performance. If you wanted to do this on GCP, you could look into something like Google Cloud Functions or Google Cloud App Engine to act as a service.
An alternative would be to use a "Database-as-a-Service" like Cloud Firestore. This is a scalable, pay-as-you-go service with great mobile support.
Yeah sure you need a server, ruby on rails to connect to your Postgres database.
The server will facilitate data back and forth from the Google cloud Postgressql
Could any one tell me the detail for Meteor Deployment A-Z. I know about mupx and I've deployed client's Meteor apps to server. But i wanna know about A-Z detail for which server hosting is best for it and how to use it? And what about mongodb? We use local in development. What when we deploy it? What is the limit of it?
Meteor best hosting platform is HEROKU. And Best build package is Meteor Buildpack
And database usage you can integrate mLab in heroku dashboard. Many packages are available depending on your data usage.
When creating a Meteor app., Mongo is installed by default and runs automatically when I run my app. In the past, with other non-Meteor apps, I have always tried to place my app code files and database on separate servers to ensure that I can scale them independently. It feels as though this default Mongo install is a convenient way simply for Meteor to use a database out-of-the box, just to get you going. Thinking ahead, I want my app to scale, so should I start thinking about using a Mongo instance on separate server and, if so, what process do I go through to detach this default Mongo instance from my Meteor app?
The instance of mongodb that comes with meteor is only for use when developing your app. In a production environment, you should either install your own mongo instance or use a service.
I strongly recommend using compose.io in production. We've had a really good experience with them and the most basic deployment comes with access to the oplog which is critical for scaling your app.
Either way, in production you will provide two URLs to your app via environment variables:
MONGO_URL
MONGO_OPLOG_URL (this is optional but strongly recommended)
If you go with compose, here is the guide for integrating with meteor.
I'm developing a Google Apps Script application and I want to have a MongoDB backend to the application. Currently I am using a Mongolab sandbox account and successfully interacting with the collection on the Mongolabs servers. The performance is very good and the support at Mongolabs has been excellent.
That said, long-term I've decided to host my own Mongodb on my Mac Pro that is currently running Yosemite. I already have Mongodb installed and its working fine.
My Question: How do I use (install/configure/establish) a Rest API (or other means) to connect with my locally installed Mongodb database. I have spent a couple hours on 10gen's site and on Google trying to figure it out, but I have not quite gotten there. Does anyone have experience doing this or something similar that might be able to share your experience or at least refer me to a good resource.
Thanks in advance for you help.
Is there any way to run the mongoDB in goddady or any other hosting websites except for mongoHQ and so on?
and if I use mongoHQ , is that safe for the data and fast ?
I'm right now using it in the localhost server as a windows service .
If you want to run software like MongoDB in a web environment, you'll need a Virtual Private Server (VPS). This is like having an entire machine that you can install anything on and do anything with. The downside is that you have to install and configure all the software on it, including backups and disaster recovery, which a shared host will usually do for you instead. The upside is that you have more system resources, so you can do more, and you can install any software you want, so you have more flexibility. My personal recommendation is Linode or Amazon EC2.
Shared hosting services generally don't allow you to install your own services, so you'll have to use what they provide for you. Most provide an RDBMS, like MySQL, but there aren't many providing MongoDB for you.
Just to chime in because I was wondering the same thing and came across this when I searched skynet, mLab. They have standard pricing for hosting a mongoDB setup and deployment as well as a free version for dev work.
