Sign up for MongoDB Atlasβ
Creating a MongoDB Atlas account is free and does not require a credit card.
Some corporate email accounts have restrictions on their use with Atlas. Consider using your personal account instead.

If you are doing this lab at an event, you should use the same email address you used to register for the event.
Complete the form and click the "Create Your Atlas Account" button.

You will receive an email from MongoDB asking you to verify your email address. Click the link in the email to verify your email address.
If you haven't received the email within two minutes, check your spam folder.
