Building Serverless Apps With MongoDB Atlas

MongoDB has been around for a while. Perhaps you’ve even tried it in the past. But MongoDB Atlas is more than a database. Atlas, the full developer data platform, can help you build applications faster than ever. This hands-on workshop will teach you how to use MongoDB Atlas's features to build serverless applications. This workshop will start from the basics of data modelling in MongoDB, all the way to building an application that uses the Atlas application services.

This is a hands-on workshop, so expect to write code. Some basic JavaScript knowledge could help, but is not required.
