Atlas is MongoDB's database as a service platform. In this short course, we provide a detailed introduction to its features and give students the opportunity to create and use a variety of MongoDB clusters in Atlas. Upon completing this course, students will be able to create and configure their own clusters in Atlas, manage groups and user privileges, and read and write data to Atlas clusters from a MongoDB application. Students will also learn to use the metrics dashboard to monitor their applications, create and respond to alerts, and restore data from backup.
