Do the course work in public
6–12 weeks (3–7 hrs/week)
Take MongoDB for Developers Learning Path for free and do the labs in one developer learning path (CRUD, indexes, aggregation). Keep everything in one public repo or notebook as you go.
Proof required
Link your public repo or notebook with the labs in one developer learning path (CRUD, indexes, aggregation), and a screenshot or log showing the self-check passed.
What gets checked
- Lab completions show on your MongoDB learning profile.
- Queries and aggregations are saved in a public repo.
- Each index says which query it speeds up.
Common mistakes
- Copying posted answers: verifiers read the history.
- Skipping the self-check, then asking for review too early.
Powstik Guide
A public repo or notebook with the labs in one developer learning path (CRUD, indexes, aggregation).
Steps
- Make a public repo or notebook first.
- Do one unit at a time and commit after each.
- Run the self-check: Do the hands-on labs in your learning path; each lab checks your work before you go on.
- Write a short README: what is here and how to run it.
- Ask three people who know the topic to check it.
Template
README Course: MongoDB for Developers Learning Path (MongoDB (free learning paths)) What is here: How to run it: Self-check result: What was hardest:
What gets sent back
- No history, just one big upload.
- Self-check not shown.
- Code that does not run from the README.

What a verifier looks for
- Lab completions show on your MongoDB learning profile.
- Queries and aggregations are saved in a public repo.
- Each index says which query it speeds up.
- Ask one question about a choice in the code; the answer should be clear.

Store and query real documents
1–3 weeks (5–8 hrs/week)
Use what you learned. Make a small app or script that stores real JSON documents in MongoDB and answers three questions with aggregations. Keep it small enough to finish in about two weeks.
Proof required
Link a small app or script that stores real JSON documents in MongoDB and answers three questions with aggregations, with a README that says how to run or read it.
What gets checked
- It runs from the README.
- The three answers are right.
- An index makes one query faster (shown).
Common mistakes
- A project too big to finish.
- A demo that only works on your machine.
Powstik Guide
A small app or script that stores real JSON documents in MongoDB and answers three questions with aggregations.
Steps
- Write one line: what it does and for whom.
- Build the smallest version that works.
- Test it on someone else's machine or with someone else reading it.
- Write the README.
- Ask three people to check it.
Template
README What it does: Who it is for: How to run it: What I would do next:
What gets sent back
- Does not run from the README.
- Not clearly the person's own work.
- Claims more than it does.
