Click on `Deploy Chart` once you have finished configuring the chart.

## 3. Check the Status of Deployment

In case the status of the deployment is `Degraded` or takes a long time to get deployed, click on `Status` or check the logs of the pods to debug the issue.

## 4. Extract the Service name

Copy the service name, it will be used to connect your application to mongoDB.
