Description

Hello,
mLab no longer exists,
so this tutorial needs to be updated:
https://github.com/parse-community/docs/blob/gh-pages/_includes/parse-server/deploying-glitch-mlab.md
And about the bug, when remixing the Parse Glitch project, you can't use a MongoDB URI Connection String from MongoDB Atlas (free cluster) because an error says "DATABASE_URI not specified, falling back to localhost.".
It seems that the MongoDB Atlas Connection String is considered as invalid, it would be nice if someone would fix this doc and glitch project with something working in 2020 !

Research direction

Start with _includes/parse-server/deploying-glitch-mlab.md and inspect the remixed Parse Glitch project described in the issue. Check how a MongoDB Atlas connection string is handled, then update the tutorial and project so the deployment works without the retired mLab service; done means the documented remix accepts the Atlas URI.
