How to set up MongoDB Atlas with Spring Boot, Docker, and Google Cloud Run

Start your journey to Google Cloud deployment now

Getting into the world of cloud development can sometimes be a little bit overwhelming. In a recent article, I already showed you how you can set up a simple Pub-Sub implementation that is often used to communicate between services.

With this tutorial, I want to bring some light onto the required steps to bring your Spring Boot application with connection to a MongoDB Atlas instance into the cloud with the help of Google Cloud or to be more specific Google Cloud Run.

To follow this article in a practical manner there are some premises for your project.

I am assuming that:

• You have a working Spring Boot Application
• You have a local MongoDB instance and want to deploy it to the cloud (or rather MongoDB Atlas)
• You have registered and created a project on Google Cloud
