JIRA is the clear choice for you based on your use case. JIRA has been around for more than 15 years and they defintly are pioneer in this field. JIRA will perfectly match up with your use cases (data governance compliance, etc.). JIRA can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be. You can choose one of the starter templates or build a custom transition with a dedicated workflow for each. If done correctly, even though the first step takes time, it makes life much easier for everyone in the end. I don't work for JIRA just a big fan!

Hey Balaji, What is your use case here? What will be the number of requests you will receive? I have been using Elasticsearch for some time now and don't know much about Atlas. Built on top of Lucene, Elasticsearch is designed for searching, however it can get complex to maintain in production, particularly as data grows. ES offers tons of options for full text searches, for example, ES analyzer makes it easier to write very specific queries that can pull back filtered results immediately. ES is free and open source, so if you run into any difficulties, you will have no problem finding solutions unless you are doing something very niche.

Hi Balaji, I had a similar problem while designing a content app that pulled in thousands of articles each day. However, my backend was Dynamodb which is even more limited than mongoDB. I considered using Algolia for the search but that proved to be a bit expensive so finally decided to use Elasticseach but just for the search, my database was still dynamodb (MongoDB in your case).

I would send all updates/deletes etc from dynamodb to elasticsearch via ddb streams and used elasticseach as the default search for the application and also for any kind of read operations. I would not recommend using Elasticsearch as a database as it is not meant to be used as a database for various reasons. The dual approach with MongoDB/DynamoDB as the database(source of truth) and ElasticSearch as the search/read worked very well for me.

Thank you so much.

Your explanation with Dynamodb and Elasticsearch was so helpful.

Hi Balaji, developers use a combination of elasticsearch and a database like MySQL or MongoDB for such a scenario. So you can save the text, on which you want to add search, in elastic search with an id. This id will be linked to a collection or doc id in MongoDB. When the user searches a string, you will get the corresponding id from elasticsearch and then find the correct collection or doc id in MongoDB.

Hey what version of windows are you running? Microsoft has introduced ability to "natively" run linux inside windows. And the setup is pretty easy. Checkout the link and follow the instruction on how to install ubuntu and you should be setup and ready to go in 10 min or less.

EDIT: I would also download the laster version of terminal from App Store https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/windows-terminal/9n0dx20hk701?activetab=pivot:overviewtab
