Offered by MongoDB University,
M123: Getting Started with MongoDB Atlas (MongoDB)

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.

**## This course is retired. It has been replaced by the following course:

M001: MongoDB Basics. Learn the fundamentals of MongoDB. 3 Weeks. M001 will provide you with the basics of MongoDB along with learning how to use Atlas, Compass, and the MongoDB GUI. You'll learn how to build data models and data access patterns that address common application use cases. Please review the course about page for future dates.**

Note: You should be able to complete all lessons and labs in 4-6 hours, regardless of when you begin.
This class is free, but in order to complete the labs you will need to enter a credit card into Atlas. The total cost of the clusters we ask you spin up is approximately 5 USD, provided you complete each chapter in one sitting.
