Background

(What made you decide to build this particular app? What inspired you?)
Jumia is one of the biggest E-commerce websites in Africa. Has millions of users and sellers uploading thousands of products daily. We decided to choose E-commerce so we can test how fast and easy it could be searching through huge database with MongoDB Full text search.

How I built it

(How did you utilize MongoDB Atlas? Did you learn something new along the way? Pick up a new skill?)
We built the app with React and Nodejs express, and then we created a database on Mongo-atlas platform.
After completing the coding part on the back end of the app, we then indexed the *"products collection" * we then used the "index name" to configure the search function on the backend.
