Overview of MongoDB and the Document Model

Unit Overview

In this unit, you’ll learn how MongoDB stores data and how MongoDB fits into Atlas, the developer data platform. You'll also review common use cases for MongoDB. Next, you'll learn the value types that MongoDB supports, how MongoDB creates unique identifiers, and what it means that MongoDB has a “flexible schema.” Finally, you’ll begin to manage databases, collections, and documents in the MongoDB Atlas Data Explorer. This unit will give you a solid foundation in the concepts and skills that you'll need to work with MongoDB.
