About the course

MongoDB is an open-source document database with a variety of enterprise class features. In this course we will dive deep into these topics: exploring replication and sharding, as well as monitoring and backups. We will also look at MongoDB support on a variety of cloud vendors and connecting via the mongosh shell.

We will be manipulating files on the command line, so some basic Linux knowledge is expected. Familiarity with document databases is useful, but we will discuss some of the basics in the introduction section.

After completing this course, you will have a better understanding of the features available in MongoDB and how to utilize them in your applications.
