Do not mistake the interface for the product. MongoDB Atlas's durable value is infrastructure, uptime, operations, which a solo one-shot build cannot reproduce responsibly. The prompt therefore builds only the closest honest personal consolation tool.

# MongoDB Atlas indie build

## Goal

Build the smallest trustworthy replacement for the core MongoDB Atlas workflow for one developer or a tiny team.

## Scope

Build a single-server deployment panel for one user that accepts a repository, builds a container, deploys it, shows logs, and supports rollback.

## Quick start

1. Install the documented dependencies.
2. Copy `.env.example` to `.env`.
3. Run the development command chosen during implementation.
4. Complete the acceptance checks in `BUILD_PLAN.md`.

## Honest limits

This build deliberately does not replace:
- managed global infrastructure
- multi-region failover
- DDoS protection and compliance
- 24-hour operations and support

If those capabilities are essential, use Coolify instead of pretending the gap is solved.

MongoDB Atlas: Managed hosting sells a failure domain, on-call team, network, backups, and capacity planning, not merely a deploy button.
