Hey everyone!

To those who are struggling with deploying the app. These are the steps I had to do deploy it:

1. Create an account for MongoDB Atlas and create a cluster:  
[Get Started with Atlas — MongoDB Atlas](https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/getting-started/)

2. Here are the changes I had to make in my program:

db.js:

![db](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/codewithmosh/original/2X/c/c2144525cc0e6dbc03a2ce03282ec3427e6b5035.png)

custom-enviroment-variables.json:

“vidly\_node\_js” is the name of my database in my MongoDB Compass.

1. Go to your Cluster and click “CONNECT”.

2. Click on “CONNECT USING MONGODB COMPASS”.

3. Select “I have a MONGODB Compass”.

4. Use verion 1.11 or earlier.

5. And on the heroku config:set I had to use **Quotation** marks for my connection string:

heroku config:set “Paste connection string here”

P.S. Make sure you replace username and password with your actual values.

1. git add .

2. git commit -m “Message”

3. git push heroku master

And that’s it!

Where can I set the name of my database in my MongoDB Compass? Is that the same as my cluster name when creating a new database? I guess not, because special characters are not allowed while choosing a name for your cluster.
