Kudos, Looks Amazing! I love it. However our MongoDB environment is very secluded inside a VPC, K8S... If makes sense in the future pls consider a Docker version with some sort of registration key.

thanks rafaelturk! I'll look into it. If you want you can write me on twitter and I'll let you know if I add docker support.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Getting: Oops! Error Internal Server Error during the registration. Hug of death?

Fixed. Lesson learned - don't post on HN Show, when your app runs on $10/month container and db on $3.5 one

Thanks. No support for Replica Sets yet?

Maker here. I created DatabaseLog as an internal tool to provide our marketing team with a simple way to track monthly performance (Registered users, Posted jobs etc.) and compare to past performance on our MongoDB data and decided to release it to the world in case it's useful for other makers/teams. Here's how it works: 1. Connect to remote MongoDB database 2.Define metrics once, simply as creating a {query} or an…

It took me an embarrassing amount of time to realize this wasn't an official MongoDB product. But that's a compliment! The landing page is great.

Really interested in behind-the-firewall options. Nobody should punch a hole in their network exposing their DB to the Internet. IMO you should offer VPC peering for AWS & GCP so this can work entirely on private networks.

At the very least, you need to provide the IP address(es) you'll be connecting from so that your users can poke the smallest hole possible in their firewall. Opening up 27017 to the world ain't happening.

That's a very good feedback, thanks. I can't believe I forgot to provide that.

I added public IP to the page where you connect MongoDB, you can try again.

Thanks for compliment vngzs!

As you and more commenters pointed out, current connection to db isn't very optimal.

I added a note "Allow remote connection to MongoDB port (27017) from 165.22.32.162" while I try to come up with a better solution.

If you can share some advice/article on how VPC peering for AWS & GCP works, I'll be grateful.
