I am currently using Atlas on a personal project and I must say that I am very pleased with it. It's good because you can try it for free and if your project starts to scale you can easily set it up according to your needs. You can also check Azure and AWS options. Regarding the question about Crest: if you need simple logic on your API, you can go for it. But if you want a more complex logic, I would recommend using express and mongojs or mongoose .
