MongoDB Atlas
About MongoDB Atlas
MongoDB Atlas is managed MongoDB with a free M0 tier that many tutorials still assume. It is the path of least resistance if your document model is already Mongo-shaped.
Free clusters are for prototyping; production usually means a paid tier with backups and bigger storage. IndieSheet’s “$0+/mo” starting marker reflects how Atlas marketing frames entry before you pick a cluster size.

Pricing angle
Free M0 exists for prototypes; meaningful production clusters leave $0 and scale with size/region.
Watch out
M0 is not a production SLA — migrate before launch day if you need backups and consistent performance.
