While MERN stack is one of the most popular courses sold over internet for development, they work with MongoDB atlas or MongoDB compass which is super easy and requires almost no effort to setup NoSQL.

So many times people wonder on how to work on other databases (SQL) like Postgres, MySQL, etc.

One way which I personally don’t like is downloading it on local storage and then using it (similar to MongoDB compass but with a little less user friendly UI).

Other way, using Docker on local storage or on cloud. While this is good for creating production ready products, building simple projects or for small scale clients(100–1000 userbase), it gets annoying to setup database backups and managing every little things.

MongoDB’s Atlas solved this simple problem of setting up and managing backups of Databases for NoSQL which is why it was the most preferred way for beginners to start learning and working on projects and most people stuck to it.

But now, I found it, finally!

THE BEST MONGODB ATLAS AlTERNATIVE FOR POSTGRES!

This is soooo freaking simple and similar to how we did the setup for MongoDB that you will love working on SQL Databases more than NoSQL (as a beginner, for more advance developers: you guys don’t have a life to enjoy things, go fix those bugs).

So that’s it for now!
