MongoDB Stitch is a platform that allows developers to easily access MongoDB databases and integrate with key services. It provides native SDKs, integrated rules and functions to build scalable backends. Requests made through Stitch are parsed, services are orchestrated, rules are applied, and results are returned to clients. Stitch handles authentication, authorization and access controls through user profiles and declarative rules. It is a unified solution for building complete applications that connect to MongoDB and external services securely.

• Control DB/Service/Function access
• Fine-grained data access controls
• Define with simple JSON or link to
functions
• Associate with user profile, MDB Data,
or external info

process:
1. User requests photo + SMS
entry
2. Stitch asks ElectricImp for
photo
3. EI takes photo, sends to
Stitch
4. Stitch sends the photo to
AWS S3 and Rekognition
5. Rekognition sends image
analysis
6. Stitch queries Atlas for User
7. Stitch generates an entry
code, writes log, sends text
via Twilio
8. User enters code with key
pad, ElectricImp sends to
Stitch
9. Stitch checks code against
logs
10. If the code is valid, the Stitch
sends Electric Imp a message
to unlock.
