title: Amazon AWS WebApp with MongoDB
body: <p>I have built a mobile application that needs to connect to my SpringBoot-WebApp which in turn has a MongoDB and some other things in the background.</p>
  
  <p>I want to deploy this WebApp at Amazon AWS, but I am overwhelmed by all the possibilities. So far, I have just created it as a .jar, and ran it that way, and it worked fine at my other server.
  Now, for traffic reasons and such, we want to move it to AWS. I have found out, that I need to create a .war instead of a .jar, which is not a problem. I then learned to upload this .war to Elastic Beanstalk. However, my application needs to connect to a MongoDB. I have logged on to AWS via SSH and installed MongoDB there and created the database, but it does not seem like this is the right way to do it.</p>
  
  <p>It'd greatly appreciate if anyone could give me a hint on how to do this as I am very confused.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks and best regards!</p>
