Is there a way to change MongoDB's default port 27017 to run on another port? For a shard cluster?

Yes, it is possible, however, the easiest way to use MongoDB is with MongoDB Atlas (account.mongodb.com/account/login), the cloud offering by MongoDB. When using Atlas, you only need your connection string, and don’t need to bother with configuration and ports.

This challenge is specifically about MongoDB Atlas so you should give it a try to see. You will most certainly find that it’s much easier to use than a local version of MongoDB.

Looking forward to your submission!

Thanks Joel, I wanted to participate. My ❤️ said 'yes' but my 🧠 said 'no'. Should have spent time working on my project for this hackathon, but I got distracted with producing 🎵 + 🎨 instead 😒. With < 2 days left, I won't be able to make the deadline, sadly. Plus those pesky bugs always take unexpectedly longer to resolve 😮‍💨 Maybe next time if there is a next time
