Setup your MongoDB Atlas Cluster0 using AWS /N. Virginia(us-east-1). user as Tom(or your name), password in database access and add your local computer's ip address into Atlas network access.

In your Cluster0, connect and connect your application using python driver and version 3.11 or later. Add your connection string into application file("init.py"):

flask run

IMPORTANT! If you add any python dependencies to your pipfiles, you'll need to regenerate your requirements.txt before deployment. You can do this by running:

pipenv lock -r > requirements.txt
