A comprehensive tutorial published on DEV Community walks developers through the process of running a Drupal content management system on MongoDB Atlas, with support from AWS EC2. Authored by David Bekker, maintainer of Drupal’s Database API, the guide offers a detailed, step-by-step process for setting up a demonstration site using Drupal 11 and MongoDB’s cloud-based infrastructure.

The tutorial leverages a MongoDB Atlas M10 cluster and an AWS EC2 medium instance to achieve optimal performance. It covers everything from configuring MongoDB and creating a secure EC2 environment to installing Apache, PHP, and the necessary MongoDB PHP extensions. It also explains how to patch Drupal’s core for MongoDB compatibility and finalize the CMS setup.
