Hello, I’m building a React Native mobile app and need advice on integrating MongoDB server for app development. Should I leverage Atlas App Services, Realm (despite its deprecation), or another approach as a backend? What are the best practices for secure, scalable MongoDB integration in mobile app development?
Power combo of integrating MongoDB with a React Native mobile app.
My Suggestion:
MongoDB Atlas + App Services:
Atlas App Services is the best today. while Realm’s SDK still works & supported for now. MongoDB is focus to App Services as the primary way to connect mobile clients securely to Atlas.
With Atlas App Services,
- Built-in authentication with JWT, email/password, Google and more
- Role-based access control
- Automatic syncing
- Serverless functions to handle logic without needing your own backend-server.
