MongoDB on Azure Web APP

Question

I'm running nodejs application via Azure Web App. How do I set up MongoDB on Web App service?

Answer 1

You need to provision MongoDB yourself and have your Web App work against it. Azure doesn't have a native MongoDB service but you can:

• Use Azure's DocumentDB with the Mongo driver compatibility
• Use the MongoDB VM image from the marketplace (this is IaaS).
• Use mLab which is a 3rd party hosted solution but can be bought from Azure
