Towbar manifest

.towbar/datastores/mongodb-app-specific-user.datastore.yml

Configure

  1. Register and prepare the example server or servers, connect the repository, and map production to the branch containing these files.
  2. Save each Datastore credential value under Datastore → Settings → Secrets, deploy it first, and verify engine readiness before starting a dependent Service.
  3. Create an application-specific user with only the required privileges after the database is ready. Save its connection URL on the consuming Service instead of reusing the Datastore’s administrator credentials.
  4. Sync the repository, inspect the resolved configuration, deploy manually, and perform the verification below before enabling automation.

Verify

The Service uses that user; Towbar’s managed root credential stays separate. For field constraints, see Datastore manifest.
