CAUTION
The use of the mongo image within the docker-compose.yml is meant to quickly get a dev or staging environment up and running. For production you may want to use a more scalable and stable solution (ie. AWS DocumentDB, Google Cloud MongoDB Atlas, Azure Cosmos DB for Mongo, etc.)...m

Using hosted Mongo/DocumentDB is safest, but you can also self-host mongo, but you should specify a volume (if you’re using docker) so that you don’t loose data if you do docker down.

10/05/2023, 7:51 AMYeah we’ve learned our lesson now so will be careful about it in the future 😄
Luckily the project is just in a beta phase so not too much issues ^^
Also likely gonna keep a separate hosted JSON as a backup for if we have any future issues 👍
