Save time deploying web applications using MongoDB and Cloud Run

06/12/2022

Today, Google announced a partnership with MongoDB to simplify the use of hybrid products.

As a software developer, you want the freedom to combine the technologies you already know and love. This freedom helps enhance productivity and ROI because you can leverage the right technology combinations suitable to your use case and that best fit your team’s current knowledge and practices.

For example, web developers often combine a front-end web framework with a back-end server and a database. These combinations, commonly referred to as a tech stack, include older examples like LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP) and more recent NoSQL oriented ones like MEAN, MERN, and FARM (these being various combinations of MongoDB, Express, Angular / React / FastAPI, and NodeJS).

Save time deploying web applications with MongoDB and Cloud Run 2

A challenge with combining technologies is to find a cloud provider that supports the end-to-end deployment journey in a simple, fully automated way even when some selected technologies are not the cloud provider’s own. While MongoDB is by far the most popular NoSQL database, the leading cloud vendors either provide alternative managed NoSQL offerings, or they provide MongoDB Atlas via a third party marketplace. This can lead your team to either 1) learn how to use the alternative and proprietary NoSQL product and accept vendor lock-in, or, 2) self-deploy MongoDB through a secondary workflow, either via MongoDB Atlas or by deploying the open source MongoDB solution and assuming the operational burden yourself. Either way, getting the parts to work together can take away precious application development time.

Today we’re announcing a collaboration with MongoDB to help simplify the co-deployment of our combined products onto Google Cloud, starting with the MEAN stack. Via this collaboration, we now offer simplified automated deployment,, tận dụng các tập lệnh Hashicorp Terraform nguồn mở do Google cung cấp, để tự động triển khai bộ chứa Cloud Run được định cấu hình sẵn và phiên bản cơ sở dữ liệu MongoDB Atlas được quản lý. Cách tiếp cận này giúp giảm thiểu các bước, giảm việc phải chuyển đổi giữa các công cụ và GUI triển khai khác nhau, đồng thời cung cấp tùy chọn phát triển hiện đại và đáng tin cậy cho các ứng dụng web dựa trên MEAN và MERN. Điều này đánh dấu sự khởi đầu của một loạt các dịch vụ triển khai dựa trên Terraform để bao gồm nhiều stack công nghệ phổ biến khác.

How this benefits you, the web application developer

Our goal is to help accelerate your software development by letting you choose known technology combinations without having to put the pieces together yourself. This collaboration also reiterates our embrace of winning open-source offerings like Hashicorp’s Terraform and MongoDB as first-party like citizens on our platform. This helps you avoid proprietary alternatives and vendor lock-in, self-managing a combination of first and third party software solutions yourself, and generally helps save you time and effort
