 ## Running the Project
 
 To run the project successfully you'll need to do the following steps:
-1. Deploy `db-docker-compose.yml` file to use MongoDB database.
-Once inside the directory of the project, you need to run the following command:
-```bash
-docker-compose -f db-docker-compose.yml up -d
-```
-The command above will create a container running the MongoDB database, however the information you add to the database isn't persistent, you'll need to modify the db-docker-compose.yml file to include a volume. For more information regarding Docker-compose files and volumes go the this [page](https://docs.docker.com/engine/storage/volumes/).
+1. Set Up a MongoDB Atlas Database:
+
+  - Go to [MongoDB Atlas](https://www.mongodb.com/products/platform/atlas-database) and create a free account if you don't have one.
+
+  - Create a new cluster by following the instructions provided on the Atlas dashboard.
+
+  - Once your cluster is ready, click on "Connect," then choose "Connect your application."
+
+  - Copy the connection string provided, which should look something like this:
+    [Example:]
+     ( mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>@cluster0.mongodb.net/<database>?retryWrites=true&w=majority )
+  - Make sure your IP address is whitelisted in the Atlas security settings.
 
 2. Create `config.toml` file using the `config.template.toml` file.
 Create a `config.toml` file by copying and modifying the `config.template.toml` file. Make sure you update the following fields as required to run the project successfully:
 
-- `connection_string`, this is the string to connect to the database. If the `db-docker-compose.yml` isn't changed the connection string would be: `mongodb://quests:password@localhost:27017`
+- `connection_string`, this is the string to connect to the database. Replace with the MongoDB Atlas connection string here.
 - `secret_key`, this is the secret used for the JWT token. You can change it or leave as is.
 - `expiry_duration`, this is the expiry duration of the JWT token. You should change it according to your needs the time is stored in miliseconds.
 - `rpc_url`, this is to interact with the blockchain you can use a public RPC such as [Lava](https://www.lavanet.xyz/get-started/starknet) or a private node provider such as [Alchemy](https://www.alchemy.com) or [Infura](https://www.infura.io). Alchemy and Infura require an account to get a private RPC, while Lava is completely public.
