MongoDB Mastery

NoSQL for Developers

Description

MongoDB is a NoSQL database that stores data in flexible, JSON-like documents, which makes it ideal for handling unstructured or semi-structured data. In this course, you’ll learn how to set up and use MongoDB to store, manage, and query data for your web applications. You’ll dive deep into key concepts like collections, documents, aggregation, and indexing. By the end of the course, you’ll be equipped to integrate MongoDB with your backend applications, perform complex queries, and scale your databases for production-level applications.
