I'm new to developing with Tauri and Astro, and I haven't worked with Rust before, nor with frontend frameworks. In addition, I will need to connect MongoDB for document-oriented objects.
Currently, I'm scared of the setup and the complex, opaque steps involved in creating a project in the selected technology stack.
But I really want to work with these technologies, because they cover my needs (on paper at least)

I don't think anyone has made a MongoDB plugin for Tauri yet so you'll have to handle that from Rust. Which part of the setup have you done so far?

MongoDB officially supports a Rust driver, you can find guides on their website (https://www.mongodb.com/docs/drivers/rust/current/) and crate documentation at https://docs.rs/mongodb.

Thank you for your response. I am currently trying to understand how to create a Tauri + Astro project (which i have failed to understand so far). Regarding MongoDB, I believe I will need to make requests to the rust backend and forward the responses to the front end.

Tauri and Astro together is possible (see https://github.com/JonasKruckenberg/tauri-astro-template), but be warned: It may get complicated when youre trying to use tauri native APIs, because of the way astro handles the window object (and ssr), but it is definetly possible.
