01Installing and shell basicsMongoDB has a server that stores data and a shell you type commands into. Challenge 9 min 02Schema design patternsEmbed what is read together and reference what grows or is shared. Challenge 11 min 03Transactions and consistencyGroup changes that must all succeed or all fail, and choose how durable a write must be. Challenge 12 min 04Performance and explainA compound index matches your query shape, and explain shows whether it is used. Challenge 12 min 05Backup and restoremongodump copies data out and mongorestore puts it back, but a restore is only real after you test it. Challenge 10 min 06Documents, collections and modellingMongoDB stores BSON documents; the schema is a design choice, not an accident. Challenge 13 min 07CRUD that stays predictableInsert, read, update and delete with explicit filters and deliberate write concerns. Challenge 14 min 08Queries, projections and arraysA query is a document-shaped filter; a projection controls what comes back. Challenge 14 min 09The aggregation pipelineStages transform a stream of documents one step at a time. Challenge 15 min 10Indexes, validation and growthIndexes support your real queries; validation protects the document shape. Challenge 15 min
