Node.JS (Mini-message board): Add step to connect messages to MongoDB

[Baguirre03]

Describe your suggestion

In the deployment section of Node.JS this is the first point in the assignment ->

Deploy your Mini Message Board project to one of the hosting providers we’ve mentioned. If you need help deciding which one to use, we recommend Fly.io in conjunction with MongoDB Atlas for your database. The important thing to take away from this first deployment is getting experience deploying. Don’t worry if you don’t understand everything that’s happening. That will come with time.

Although after completing the mini-message-board project there is never instructions to connect the messages to MongoDB. I think that there should be a step that the messages are connected and used from MongoDB and not just for the session.

@Baguirre03 thanks for creating this issue.

I'm debating whether we need to have learners connect a database to this project at all. What do you think?

[Baguirre03]

@01zulfi - hmm, why so? This is after the MongoDB lesson and is kind of the point of a message board? Being able to see past messages and not just chat to yourself no?
