What this is
MongoDB University covers the document model, aggregation, indexes and running Atlas. Taking the courses and claiming the badge costs nothing, and the practice runs on a free Atlas cluster.
Full certification is a separate, paid step, though students get a $150 voucher through the GitHub Student Pack. So for a student there is a fully free route here, and for everybody else a free route up to badge level.
Who it is for
Backend developers already using NoSQL, or about to.
