New Data Modeling Learning Path and Certification

Data modeling is a crucial part of software development. It's what gives structure to the data so that it can be analyzed, used to make decisions, and built into useful applications. It can be complex and challenging, especially when you're juggling performance and maintainability. But here's the good news: a well-designed data model can boost your app's performance.

That's why we've put together a new learning path and certification to help you level up your data modeling skills. Whether you're a seasoned developer looking to deepen your understanding or a newcomer eager to learn, this content is designed to give you the tools you need to create efficient and effective data models. Let's dive in and start building better apps together.

Deep dive into data modeling with MongoDB

The new free, online MongoDB Data Modeling Path will help you build your knowledge from the ground up and prepare you for the certification exam. The curated sequence of videos, hands-on labs, and quizzes provides you with a guided journey to learning data modeling at your own pace.

The learning path will show you a step-by-step method for creating effective data models. You'll learn how to identify entities and workloads, map relationships, and when to embed or reference them. In addition, you'll learn different schema design patterns, how to recognize and address MongoDB anti-patterns, and the basics of schema lifecycle management.

And, here's a little something extra: Once you complete the learning path, you'll automatically score a 50% discount on the new certification!
