MongoDB Realm #
Within the realms of the CoSync Auth application, the MongoDB Realm tab serves as a pivotal bridge, establishing a connection to a MongoDB App Services application housed within the MongoDB Portal. Here, within the application detail, the developer wields the power to configure a MongoDB App Services application, a versatile playground for the CoSync Auth service or the CoSync AssetLink module. This tab stands as a vital conduit, enabling seamless integration and configuring the MongoDB App Service Application to harness the full potential of CoSync’s offerings.
Within the context of application integration, the MongoDB Realm Application Id assumes the role of a fundamental bridge that connects a CoSync-level application with the Realm-level.
