MongoDB Atlas is a fully-managed cloud database developed by the same people that build MongoDB. Atlas handles all the complexity of deploying, managing, and healing your deployments on the cloud service provider of your choice (AWS, Azure, and GCP). You may use this service totally FOR FREE.

Notes: This software is written in Python. You may use this repo as a tool to constantly post data (ie: sensors data) from your device to your database hosted by MongoDB Atlas. If you have Python >=3.6 installed in your machine, you should be good to go. The demo below is done with a Jetson AGX Xavier DevKit. Other edge devices such as Raspberry Pi and Jetson Nano, or a normal Linux Desktop should also work.
