  The MongoDB Shell, mongosh, is one of the standard tools used to interact with MongoDB deployments. In this post, I will demonstrate using mongosh with Tigris.

  You will see that you do not have to create a MongoDB Atlas cluster. m1k.preview.tigrisdata.cloud is a serverless deployment we will use. It has built-in automatic database sharding, meaning that, unlike MongoDB Atlas, you must never worry about sharding or shard keys, and the data distribution is automatically handled.
