Deploy a Federated Database Instance in an HTTP Data Store

This page describes how to deploy a federated database instance for accessing data in an HTTP data store.

Required Access

To deploy a federated database instance, you must have Project Owner access to the project.

Important

Users with Organization Owner access must add themselves as a Project Owner to the project before deploying their federated database instance.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you will need to:

Create a MongoDB Atlas account, if you do not have one already.
Format your data store using one of the supported data formats.

Note
If your file format is CSV or TSV, you must include a header row in your data. See CSV and TSV for more information.
Make your data store accessible over the public Internet.

Important

If your HTTP data store is not accessible over HTTPS, you must use the JSON Editor to configure your data store. In your JSON configuration, you must set the stores.[n].allowInsecure setting to true.
Atlas Data Federation does not support HTTP data store URLs that require authentication.
