# Create a MongoDB Deployment

You can create a free tier MongoDB deployment on MongoDB Atlas to store and manage your data. MongoDB Atlas hosts and manages your MongoDB database in the cloud.

## Create a Free MongoDB deployment on Atlas

Complete the Get Started with Atlas guide to set up a new Atlas account and load sample data into a new free tier MongoDB deployment.

## Save your Credentials

After you create your database user, save that user's username and password to a safe location for use in an upcoming step.

After you complete these steps, you have a new free tier MongoDB deployment on Atlas, database user credentials, and sample data loaded in your database.

If you run into issues on this step, ask for help in the MongoDB Community Forums or submit feedback by using the Rate this page tab on the right or bottom right side of this page.
