MongoDB's document model is a common choice for backend applications, and this 34-lesson course covers it from first setup through running a cluster in production.

Core skills

  • Running MongoDB locally with Docker
  • Working with documents and collections in MongoDB's flexible data model
  • Writing and optimizing queries, and applying indexes for faster retrieval
  • Designing data models suited to your application, and navigating results with cursors

Beyond the basics

The course also covers day-to-day database administration tasks, integrating MongoDB into a Node.js backend, and setting up and managing a MongoDB cluster on AWS — giving you a path from local development to something closer to a real production setup.

Nelson Djalo publishes the Amigoscode YouTube channel and standalone course platform — one of the largest independent Java / Spring Boot tutorial sources online, with several million subscribers and a multi-year track record of weekly back-end engineering tutorials.

The course catalog covers the full Java back-end stack: Java fundamentals, Spring Boot for production web services, Spring Security and OAuth, Spring Data and JPA, microservices patterns with Spring Cloud, Kafka and event-driven architecture, Docker and Kubernetes for the deployment layer, AWS for cloud infrastructure, and the database side (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis). Material is project-oriented — most courses build a working microservice or full application end-to-end.

The CourseFlix listing under this source carries over 13 Amigoscode courses spanning that range. Material is paid; Amigoscode runs on per-course or membership pricing on the original platform. Courses are aimed at Java developers building production back-end services.
