Going serverless with MongoDB
summary
Builds a React event‑registration site backed by MongoDB Atlas App services, provisioning a serverless instance (AWS Ireland), creating events and registrations collections, and wiring auth (anonymous + email/password) via the realm web SDK and MongoDB Compass. Rules restrict reads/inserts by role, hosting serves the front end, and a Locust load test spawns 500 users at 10/s reaching about ~800 registrations while Atlas auto‑scales; backend to working demo completes in roughly 30 minutes.
