Create a MongoDB account and set up an Atlas database (https://www.mongodb.com/basics/mongodb-atlas-tutorial)
In a .env file in the back-end directory, create an environment variable to store the database credential (i.e. the password) - do not push this file because it's secret. It should be git-ignored already by default
Use the 'dotenv' library to import the database credentials into our files
