title: Migrating my data from MongoDB Atlas
body: <p>I've recently had a lot of weird usage between my MongoDB instance hosted on Atlas and my AWS instance hosting the application that uses the db. That's why i thought about hosting MongoDB on my own AWS server.</p>
  
  <p>Since then i've tried to find tutorials on how to migrate my data from Atlas to my own setup, but haven't found anything but tutorials to migrate from something else to Atlas (which is obv not what i want)</p>
  
  <p>Is there some standard way im just not seeing, being fairly inexperienced with the low level MongoDB stuff, or are they actively keeping this quiet?</p>
  
  <p>I'd really appreciate some help because i'm hosting a hobby project and the most costs are created from network costs for moving data between my AWS instance and Atlas.</p>
