🍁 MongoDBLesson 15Advanced

Deploying production databases requires enabling authentication, configuring firewall rules, and restricting user access roles.

1 Deployment Security Checklist

Atlas Clusters: Always run database clusters inside isolated MongoDB Atlas or cloud environments.
IP Access Lists: Restrict ingress traffic to only allow your web server IP addresses.
Granular Roles: Do not connect applications using admin database credentials; create users having limited readWrite roles.

2 Code Challenge

Challenge: Create a new database user in Atlas with custom roles restricting write operations on database audit collections.
