 # Tutorial: Deploy a Node.js + MongoDB web app to Azure
 
-This tutorial shows how to create a secure Node.js app in [Azure App Service](overview.md) that's connected to a [Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB](/azure/cosmos-db/mongodb/mongodb-introduction) database. Azure App Service provides a highly scalable, self-patching web hosting service using the Linux operating system. When you're finished, you have an Express.js app running on Azure App Service on Linux.
