Compass as a WebApp

I work with a customer that has to go through an approval/certification process each time they want to make a new version of Compass available to their internal users, so having a web app would be valuable if it would alleviate them of having to do this each time. This is a large bank, hence the thorough re-certification process.

Agree that this would be very helpful. For those of us using the community edition without access to Atlas features, it is preferable to manage this as an internally exposed web service rather than having to install / configure Compass locally across all of our local machines. I don't think it should be to terrible hard...From what I can tell it would just require some changes to the webpack configuration at https://github.com/mongodb-js/compass/tree/main/packages/compass-web?

I'm also interested in this feature.
We have our product's admin panel and there are links to the mongodb admin panel.
So I can open a specific mongodb document by a direct link.
The only downside of the current approach is that Compass is better than the third-party solution which we are using now. -

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for your feedback.
Yes I have been using Atlas for the past one year and it provides an intuitive UI for managing everything under a single place.
What I had in mind was a web based client for accessing your local MongoDB instances as well. Compass is great, but it is an installable software which comes with platform dependency. I was imagining something like a service which we can run on our system and use the web client on the go (just like kibana).
Thanks

Hi Neelakantan,
Have you seen both the data explorer (found under the "Collections" button on the Atlas cluster) which offers a query browser and aggregation pipeline builder, and MongoDB Charts which offers beautiful native visualizations on top of data in your MongoDB Atlas clusters?
Cheers

Compass as a web client will make it more flexible for using it in a platform independent manner. I am imagining something similar to ES kibana which can be just extracted and started on the go as a stand alone service.
