Access Your MongoDB Instances#

Access from local machine#

You can install the Kinto CLI and run kinto teleport from a .git folder that has been deployed on KintoHub with a MongoDB database. Using the tunnel that is created with this command, you can use any 3rd party mongo client to connect or the mongo cli.

MongoDB Advanced Options#

Replica Count#

Increasing your replicas will create Highly Available MongoDB instances. You can increase or decrease your replicas under the Configurations tab when creating a MongoDB service. It's recommended to have at least 3 replicas in production environments or any environments you wish to decrease the chances of downtime. Read more about replicas here.
