Overview

MongoDB Atlas is a multi-cloud database service that makes it easy to deploy and manage databases on-demand. With the Ternary platform integration, you can effortlessly manage and analyze your MongoDB billing data and other cloud provider data in one central location. Ternary collects your MongoDB billing data using the MongoDB Invoices API.
