Introduction to MongoDB Stitch Hands-On Workshop

Join our hands-on workshop to get up and running with all aspects of MongoDB! From deploying an Atlas cluster to creating Stitch services, we’ll work through a variety of lab exercises together. Don’t worry if you don’t finish! The free environment you create in this lab will be yours forever.

This hands-on workshop is designed to get you familiar with all aspects of MongoDB, from deploying a cluster, to loading data to creating Stitch services to access that data.

This workshop includes 8 lab exercises and several more optional lab exercises you can try as time allows. Don’t worry about completing all optional lab exercises in this sitting. The free environment you create in this lab will be yours forever.

We feel very passionate that the BEST way for you to learn MongoDB and all it has to offer is to get your hands dirty. Once you experience how ridiculously easy it is to work with data with MongoDB Stitch, your inner genius will NEVER put it down.

Brian and Karen have been playing with Stitch and evangelizing the product to our MongoDB customers since before there was much enablement content for the SAs and customers. We have worked through many of the use cases, made many of the common mistakes, and overcame many of the common objections. Having worked with many of our customers, we feel very passionate that the BEST way for developers to start using Stitch is to get them hands-on. Once they experience using Stitch in this lab, they will NEVER put it down.

This lab starts at a very basic level, but it offers many exercises to get as deep as desired. QueryAnywhere, geospatial queries, creating REST APIs, Stitch hosting, Triggers, and calling Azure Cognitive services… There is even an option to use Atlas Charts to visualize the data.

This workshop requires some knowledge of Javascript and HTML, but no experience with special frameworks/libraries such as React and Angular needed.
