- MongoDB as a service on Windows refers to running MongoDB as a Windows service, which allows MongoDB to start automatically when Windows boots up, run in the background, and be managed through the Windows Service Manager. This is a useful setup if you want MongoDB to be always available without manually starting it.
- To run MongoDB as a Windows service, open a command prompt with administrator privileges and run the following command:
net start MongoDB
- This will start the MongoDB server and keep it running in the background.
Breakdown of 'net start mongodb':
- net: This is a built-in Windows command that manages network services, which includes starting, stopping, and managing services on the system.
- start: This specifies that you want to start a service.
- mongodb: This is the name of the MongoDB service. When MongoDB is installed as a service, it is given this service name.
- To stop MongoDB as a Windows service, open a command prompt with administrator privileges and run the following command:

Why Use 'net start mongodb'?
- Convenience: It allows MongoDB to run in the background as a service, meaning you don't have to manually run the command every time you need MongoDB running.
- Automatic start: MongoDB will automatically start when Windows boots, if it's set to do so, ensuring that the database server is always running.
- Ease of management: Using net start and net stop makes it easy to control MongoDB without needing to find and kill processes or open multiple command windows.
- This is a convenient way to manage MongoDB in a production or development environment where MongoDB needs to run consistently.
