Overview
The MongoDB Ruby Driver is a library that allows Ruby applications to interact with MongoDB databases. You can use the Ruby driver to connect to MongoDB and perform common data operations. This guide shows you how to create an application that uses the Ruby driver to connect to a MongoDB cluster hosted on MongoDB Atlas and query data in your cluster.
Tip
MongoDB Atlas is a fully managed cloud database service that hosts your MongoDB deployments. You can create your own free (no credit card required) MongoDB Atlas deployment by following the steps in this guide.
If you prefer to use a different driver or programming language to connect to MongoDB, see our list of official drivers.
