Hello.
We are migrating an application that we currently have and which is based on Google spreadsheets with App Script. Our plan would be to develop a front end with WeWeb and access the data directly in MongoDB Atlas. However, WeWeb apps make calls from the client (the browser) and Atlas requires access to a specific IP. We have several employees and how difficult it is to be able to constantly update the IPs from where they are operating. In this way, we understand that it is not possible to implement the solution we had planned. In other words, we will either have to look for another no-code solution or another nosql database solution. Is this correct or is there a viable technical solution?
Thanks
You can find the IP of your project in the Dashboard, I’d definitely give it a shot. I limited successfully a Google Cloud Console API (Places API) with it without problems. To use THE IP, you just go and check the CORS, this way it’s routed through the IP, and not made from the client-side directly, as far as I understand.
Otherwise, you could do requests through something like Fastgen, or some other API builder.
Initially, I thank you for your attention.
Unfortunately it didn’t work. Mongo Atlas, despite allowing allow access, blocks Weweb calls. I also wasn’t able to locate the IP in the dashbord as you advised me.
As I am exploring the possibilities, I carried out a successful test with AppSmith which, when configuring the connection with Mongo, already informs the IPs for the white list.
I think you need to purchase at least the lowest paid plan. Then the IP will be visible in the dashboard. This could eliminate the need for a third party, until a certain complexity.
OK,
I will continue on this path!
Thank you again
I am also looking into MongoDB Atlas as a backend. Were you able to make this work? Any insights before I go down this path would be greatly appreciated.
